While there are many articles within the scope of this WikiProject, they fall into a relatively small number of classes:

• Tournament articles

e.g. Australian Open, Brisbane International. These are listed at List of tennis tournaments and in Category:Tennis tournaments.

• Player articles

e.g. Juan Martín del Potro, Leander Paes, Roger Federer, Laura Robson. These are collected in Category:Tennis players.

• Use bolding on the player's name only once: in the introduction. Do not apply it on any world rankings (even if it's world number one), opponent's name, scores, generally on nothing. Update world rankings only beginning from Mondays the day the weekly ATP rankings are published (do not pre-calculate). Use common English spelling as found on ATP and WTA websites. Otherwise use press releases, grand slam websites, other tournament sites, books, etc...

• Coach Articles

e.g. Richard Williams (tennis), Category:Tennis_coaches, Category:American_tennis_coaches

• Single-year tournament articles

e.g. 2008 Wimbledon Championships or 2008 French Open. Many of these fall under the Grand Slam Project, though there are also non-Slam pages, like 2009 Sony Ericsson Open.

• When updating entry list and seeds do not rely on gossip, Facebook accounts / fan pages of players, commentary/news editor speculations. Generally wait for the official card to be announced.

• Draws

e.g. 2008 US Open – Men's Singles, 2007 Brasil Open – Singles.

• Only update these pages when the match is finished. When doing so use bolding on the won set gamescore and the winner's name. For tie-break rules see below.

• Davis/Fed Cup articles

e.g. Yugoslavia Davis Cup team, 2008 Fed Cup. These are similar to single-year tournament articles, but probably require different standards.

• Tennis by year

e.g. 2008 in tennis, 1995 in tennis

This list may not be exhaustive, so feel free to add to it. It's well within the scope of this WikiProject to produce guidelines and best practices for each of these article classes.

Notability

Before creating a new article please check its notability.

• If it's a player :

Tennis figures are presumed to be notable if

• 1. The player is a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, either in the contributor or player category
  2. The player has competed in the Fed Cup, Davis Cup, Hopman Cup or similar international competition
  3. The player has competed in the main draw in one of these higher level professional tournaments:

     • Grand slam tournaments (the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, or the US Open)
     • Men: ATP World Tour tournaments (the ATP World Tour Finals, ATP World Tour Masters 1000, ATP World Tour 500, or ATP World Tour 250)
     • Women: WTA Tour tournaments (the WTA Premier, the WTA International, or the WTA Tour Championships)

  4. The player has won at least one title in any of the ATP Men's Challenger tournaments
  5. The player has won at least one title in any of the ITF Women's $25,000–$100,000 tournaments
  6. The player holds a tennis record recognised by the International Tennis Federation, ATP or WTA

This guideline applies equally to singles and doubles players. Junior players are presumed to be notable if they have won at least a junior Grand slam title, have been in the top 3 of the junior ITF world rankings or can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG.

• If it's a coach :

Since these are very rare article types, the most common case is when a player chose coaching after retirement. In all other cases reveal the coach's background to see if he/she notable. It is important as it could easily happen that a child player is coached by a non-proffessional or non-tennis-affiliated relative and cotton to him during his career (see Toni Nadal). The minimum requirement that can obviously qualify without doubt for coaches of players are:

• 1. The player has reached the final of or won one of the Grand Slam professional tournaments.
  2. The player has entered to ATP top 10 for a week at least.
  3. The player was member of a champion team competing in a Davis Cup, Fed Cup, Hopman Cup (reserve players and team captains don't count).
  4. The player won and reached the final of another ATP Masters 1000 event/WTA Premier

These also ensure that the notability of one-hit wonders' coaches doesn't automatically granted with his/her coachee's success. (See Roberto Carretero for example) This guideline applies equally to singles and doubles players. Junior players' coaches are to be omitted otherwise it has to be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG.

• If it's a tournament :

  Any tournament is notable that is part of the ATP World Tour (including qualifications) or the ATP Challenger Tour (excluding qualifications). The Futures and and all lower ranked tournaments should be avoided. Exhibition tournaments should also establish their notability on other grounds (several top 10 players present, notability in history...etc). When naming the new tournament page try to avoid the indication of sponsorship in the title and focus on commonly accepted/known name of the tournament (which is generally refers to the place, where it's held or a famous countryman that it is named after, though sometimes it is inevitable).

• If it's a match :

  Only a few matches deserve their own article on Wikipedia. Please consult WP:TENNIS before creating such an article. To this day only 6 of them exist. See Category:Tennis matches

• If it's a Davis Cup team :

  Every nation is notable.

• If it's an equipment :

  Focus on its significance, usage, development and evolution, historical background and avoid advertisment and commercial purposes.

• For rules, court types, stadiums ...etc :

  Though most of the possible articles exist, feel free to improve them. For a complete list see {{tennis box}}

Format

General format considerations

#1:Infobox

• Players: {{Infobox tennis biography}} which is redirected by Template:Infobox Tennis player
• Coaches: {{Infobox tennis coach}}
• Teams: {{DavisCupinfobox}}
• Grand Slam tournaments: {{Infobox GrandSlamTournaments}}
• Other tournaments: like {{Infobox joint Tennis Tournament}}, {{Infobox Exhibition Tennis Tournament}}, {{Infobox hopman cup}}
• Scores, Matches: {{DavisCupbox}}, {{infobox tennis match}}, {{GrandSlamTournamentsFinals}}

A full list can be found at Category:Tennis infobox templates

Scores

Tennis scores should be given in the following format, observing the use of the ndash separating the set scores, followed by a comma. Both winning and losing tie break scores should be added enclosed in ^{( )} tags, again using an ndash;.

• format: 7–5, 6–7^(6–8), 7–6^(7–5), 3–6, 16–14
• note the using of an ndash instead of a hyphen. Ndashes should always be used, preferably with the ndash symbol "–" rather than the ndash script "&ndash,".
• 2009 Men's Singles final, Wimbledon

1. Scores should not be added to prose unless strictly necessary, in such cases the tiebreak score is omitted. Just report the round and whether the player won or lost the match, and whom they played.
2. In wikitables and infoboxes, the above format is to be used.
3. In tournament draw/bracket-type articles (2009 Wimbledon Championships), both winning and losing tiebreak scores are required in superscript.

Sections

What items, headers, infoboxes, navboxes, etc. should exist in certain articles?

#2:The Lead

The Lead should be a brief summary of WHO the person is, WHY they are here (accomplishments), potentially WHAT they are doing now.

“ Laura Robson (born 21 January 1994) is an English tennis player. She debuted on the International Tennis Federation (ITF) junior tour in 2007, and a year later won the Wimbledon Junior Girls' Championship at the age of 14. As a junior, she also twice reached the final of the Australian Open, in 2009 and 2010. She won her first professional tournament in November 2008. As of 8 November 2010, Robson has a rank on the WTA singles tour of 206 and doubles tour of 127. ”

#3:History

• History - Childhood, where grew up, college.

“ Juan Martín del Potro was born in Tandil, Argentina. His father, Daniel del Potro, played semi-professional rugby union in Argentina and is a veterinarian. His mother, Patricia, is a teacher and he has a younger sister named Julieta. Del Potro speaks Spanish and knows some Italian and English. [...] Del Potro began playing tennis at the age of seven with coach Marcelo Gómez (who also coached Tandil-born players Juan Mónaco, Mariano Zabaleta and Máximo González). Del Potro's talent was discovered by Italian ex-tennis professional Ugo Colombini, who accompanied him through the initial phases of his young career, and is still today his agent and close friend. ”

• Early years - amateur playing career.

“ (Leander) Paes enrolled with the Britannia Amritraj Tennis Academy in Madras in 1985 where he was coached by Dave O'Meara. The academy played a key role in his early development. Leander shot into international fame when he won the 1990 Wimbledon Junior title and rose to No. 1 in the junior world-rankings. ”

#4:Career

• When they turned pro
• Grand Slam tournament and other important wins
• High point
• Later years - sometimes players are known more for what they did AFTER tennis.

“ (Michael) Boulding was both a skilled footballer and tennis player as a schoolboy, but he was persuaded to pursue a career in the latter sport when he was talent spotted by coach Tony Pickard at the age of 13. Boulding was part of the national squad and played in events across the world, including India, South America, the Far East, and also the junior Wimbledon Championships and the qualifying rounds of the main Grand Slam event. During his career he roomed with Tim Henman and was ranked the top 20 players in Britain. He held an ATP singles world ranking between 8 July 1996 and 1 November 1999, apart from between 25 August 1997 and 24 August 1998, which peaked at 1,119 with four world ranking points on 3 May 1999.[...]Boulding maintained his links with football and trained with Doncaster Rovers, and in 1998 he joined non-league Hallam near his home in Sheffield. His form at Hallam attracted the interest of a number of league clubs, and Boulding was offered a trial by Mansfield Town. He was given a contract by the Division Three side and turned professional in 1999, which brought an end to his tennis career. ”

• Results - If the scoreboard is more than {twenty?}; split out into a seperate article named "{personName} career statistics". Such as Novak Djokovic career statistics.

Otherwise the following wikitable is institutionalized (this one is for singles the doubles is the same format completed with an extra Partnering row before the Opponent in final row). Subsections containing this table should be named Titles / Career Finals / ATP Tour and Grand Slam finals or any other that refers to the content. Any other categorization is possible (Tour tpye, court type) only if this general table is also present.

Remember to link all of the opponents even if the link turns red since every player chosen to play in the Davis Cup is notable and add {{Performance key}} to the bottom of the table.

• Awards or Records - Just a summary with links to the awarding organization or a list of records. (The reference should be on the "LINKED TO" article; not the "Person" article).

Such as List of career achievements by Rafael Nadal.

• Retirement - Notable achievements outside of playing; often not related to tennis.

“ (Martina) Hingis played an exhibition match at the Liverpool International tournament on 13 June 2008. Although this event was a warm-up for Wimbledon, it was not part of the WTA Tour. This allowed Hingis to participate without breaching the rules of her ban. In a rematch of their 1997 Wimbledon final, Hingis defeated Jana Novotná.

In 2009 Hingis partook in the BBC's dancing event, Strictly Come Dancing, where she was the bookies favourite for the television show. But she went out in the first week after performing a Waltz and a Rumba, despite vowing to win the competition. 'She promised to apply the same gritty approach to the dance show that had taken her to five grand slams on the tennis court. "Everything I do I do to win. I am very competitive."

Linking

It is obvious that we need some Tennis specific guidelines with regard to wiki-linking. Please see this page's discussion thread. When consensus is reached, they should be placed here.

General Linking

Guidelines for linking general text.

• the word tennis should only be linked the FIRST time it is used and only when reference to the Tennis article would enhance the reader's understanding.

Dates

• Do not link dates unless linked in a tennis context, as in: [[yyyy in tennis]].
• Only link dates as above once on an article.

People

• Players - should not be referenced every single time they are mentioned, but it is usually appropriate to link them the FIRST time they are referenced with a specific context.
• Tournaments - Only if the player was in the Final, it was their highest achievement, or it was recently played (within the current year).

Wiki-Links

Lists

When links to lists are appropriate, which lists are appropriate.

• Current Top Players - Navbox, Category
• Player records
• Current Top tournaments

Categories

What categories should be linked and where.

• Add the most specific category possible.

Categories that are in templates and should NOT be added directly:

• Born in 'year'
• Died in 'year'

Photos

When adding photos to the articles the easiest way to have a clear copyright status is to use photos that you made yourself. Otherwise you can upload free pictures but in most of the cases pictures found on internet are not free or in the public domain. Try to use Flickr but be careful and follow the steps written here and don't forget to make it reviewed. Also try to browse Tennis on Commons for possibly free images.
