Pierre Albarran

Pierre Albarran (born 1894 in West Indies, died February 23, 1960 in Paris) was French auction and contract bridge player and theoretist, and tennis player.

As bridge player, he won the European Teams Championship in 1935, and represented France in 1935 in the first World Championships in New York. Among other conventions, he invented canapé approach and what will later become known as Roman two suiters.

During his tennis career, he played for France twice in Davis Cup, and won the bronze medal in doubles on 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp with Max Décugis.
