1972 Clean Air Classic


The 1972 Clean Air Classic was a combined men's and women's tennis tournament that took place at the Seventh Regiment Armory in New York in the United States. It was sanctioned by the Eastern Lawn Tennis Association but was not part of the official Men's Grand Prix or Women's Tennis Circuit. It was the third edition of the event and was held from December 7 through December 10, 1972. The tournament utilized a distinct scoring system with points instead of the common 0-15-30-40 and a game was won by the first player to reach four points. The singles titles were won by Charlie Pasarell and Virginia Wade.
