The tournaments were held on the grass courts of Forest Hills, New York, at West Side Tennis Club between 1957 and 1959, and Australian versions were held on grass courts at White City Stadium, Sydney 1957, at Kooyong Stadium in Melbourne in 1958, and at White City again in 1959.
(The 1965 CBS Dallas pro tennis tournament was filmed and broadcast one match at a time as a weekly series.)
The Forest Hills Tournament of Champions in 1957, 1958, and 1959 all featured a Pancho Gonzales vs. Lew Hoad singles match on the final day.
The current designation by the West Side Tennis Club of the 1957-59 Forest Hills TOC is "WCT Tournament of Champions".
[4] Kramer's contemporary brochures described the Ampol series, of which the 1959 Forest Hills TOC was a part, with the term "World Championship Tennis".
