Which Frenchman won the 1928 Australian Championships men's singles title?

Jean Borotra won the 1928 Australian Championships men's singles title. The Frenchman defeated Australian Jack Crawford in the final, 6–4, 6–1, 4–6, 5–7, 6–3.

Borotra was one of France's famous “Four Musketeers,” the group that also included René Lacoste, Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon. His 1928 victory was the only men's singles title won by a French player at the Australian Championships. It was also the first title at the event won by a player representing France.

The five-set final showed how closely matched Borotra and Crawford were: after Borotra took the first two sets, Crawford levelled the match by winning the next two before Borotra claimed the deciding set. Borotra also partnered Brugnon to the men's doubles title that year. Lacoste, Cochet and Brugnon are therefore easy mix-ups, but none won the 1928 men's singles championship. The tournament used the name Australian Championships from 1927 until 1968.
