His only gold medal came in the mixed doubles partnering French legend Suzanne Lenglen.
He won the French Open in 1903, 1904, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1912, 1913, and 1914 (also 14 times in doubles and 7 times in mixed). The interruption of World War I denied Decugis the opportunity to defend his 1914 title. Decugis was also a 4-time runner-up, having lost the final in 1902, 1906, 1920, and 1923.
