Qualifying matches and walkovers are neither official match wins nor losses.
Here are Năstase's tournament wins that are not included in the statistics on the Association of Tennis Professionals website. The website is incomplete from 1968 to 1970 and has some omissions for tournaments held since 1968.
Năstase won several tournaments during the early years of his career that were equivalent to the present day "challenger" tournaments. Because the term "challenger" started to be applied to second-rank tournaments in 1978, those tournaments are termed "minor tournaments" in the following list.
