1 In the 1996 final, it came down to the mixed doubles to decide the tournament champions. The Swiss team were forced to retire with the score at 5–5 in the final set when Marc Rosset injured his hand after punching an advertising board in anger. [1]

2 In the second round robin tie against France, Donna Vekić withdrew from the mixed doubles match, thus conceding the point and the tie to France. [2]
