- 25 Feb 2012 – Nathalie Piquion (talk · edit · hist) was PRODed by Fyunck(click) (t · c): I see no $35,000 ITF wins. I see no main draws in WTA events either. Maybe I missed something but you'll need to list the reason this player is notable, otherwise it needs to go for failing Tennis project notability.↵**When I created this article ...
- 25 Feb 2012 – Ivanović–Janković rivalry (talk · edit · hist) was PRODed by MakeSense64 (t · c): Not a notable rivalry. Jankovic has never been nr1 or won a slam. So, this is just a head-to-head page. Fails the guidelines of WP:TENNIS. Many similar rivalry articles have been deleted recently. and endorsed by Fyunck(click) (t · c) on 25 Feb 2012: Everyone plays everyone else but there are very few actual rivalries. They are supposed to be something really special and out of the ordinary.

Maybe I'm missing something but he looks non-notable.
