Career
Born in Béziers, Barthès was one of the Handsome Eight and reached a career-high ATP singles ranking in 1974 of World No. 54, though this is not a true indication, as he was one of the Top 20 players in 1971 before the creation of the ATP ranking system. He was also a US Open doubles champion in 1970, partnering Nikola Pilić.
