Welcome to the Article Guidelines section of the Tennis WikiProject. Please read this page before creating or editing tennis articles. While there are many articles within the scope of this WikiProject, they fall into a relatively small number of classes e.g. players, tournaments. The advice on this page is organized according to these article classes.

When in doubt, ask your questions on the WikiProject Tennis Talk page.

Notability and article creation (by article type)

[edit]

Before creating a new article please check its notability, as described in the sections below.

Tournaments, annual editions, draws, and matches

[edit]
A men's tournament is notable if it is part of the ATP World Tour (including qualifications) or the ATP Challenger Tour (excluding qualifications). Men's ITF tournaments are not considered notable by, unless they meet general wp:GNG guidelines. The Futures and all lower ranked tournaments are usually not notable. Qualification tournaments on the ATP Challenger Tour are usually not notable. Qualification draws on the ATP World Tour should be placed near the bottom of the main draw page. Lesser tournaments may be listed in List of ATP Challenger Tour events or List of ITF Men's Circuit events and brief information provided there (with sources), and redirects from tournament names to that list may be created.
A women's tournament is notable if it is one of the WTA Premier tournaments (including qualifications), WTA International tournaments (including qualifications), or WTA 125K series. From 2008 onwards the ITF Women's $50,000–$100,000+ tournaments are notable. From 1978–2007 the threshold for notability in the women's ITF circuit is a $25,000 event. Qualification tournaments in ITF women's events are not notable. Qualification draws for WTA main tour should be placed near the bottom of the main draw page. Lesser tournaments may be listed in List of ITF Women's Circuit events and brief information provided there, and redirects from tournament names to that list may be created.
An exhibition tournaments is notable if one can establish its notability on other grounds (e.g. several top 10 players present, notability in history, significant media coverage,... etc.).

See detailed notability requirements above. Try to avoid the indication of sponsorship in the title and focus on the commonly accepted/known name of the tournament. List of tennis tournaments and Category:Tennis tournaments
Tournament edition (year) 1877 Wimbledon Championship

Do not create these articles months in advance, they may get deleted per WP:CRYSTAL. Wait until there are announcements worth including in the article, for example the start of qualification play. Grand Slam Project
Draw 2008 US Open – Men's Singles

2007 Brasil Open – Singles

Do not create standalone articles for the qualifying rounds of smaller tournaments. Add them below the main draw in the Draw article.
Match 2008 Wimbledon Championships – Men's Singles final

Isner–Mahut match at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships

Matches that deserve their own articles on Wikipedia include:
  • men's and women's finals of the four Major tournaments (singles, doubles and mixed doubles)
  • Olympic finals, and
  • matches of record-setting events (like Isner-Mahut)

Other matches will be handled case-by-case but please consult WP:TENNIS before creating such articles.

Category:Tennis matches

Players, player statistics, player yearly

[edit]

A tennis player is notable if he/she:

  1. Is a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, either in the contributor or player category
  2. Has competed in one of the international team competitions: Fed Cup, Davis Cup, Hopman Cup or World Team Cup
  3. Has competed in the main draw in one of these higher level professional tournaments:
  4. Has won at least one title in any of the ATP Men's Challenger or WTA 125K series tournaments.
  5. Has won at least one title in any of ITF Women's $50,000+ tournaments from 2008 onward ($25,000+ between 1978 and 2007). The threshold is based on the lowest payout for men's Challenger tournaments in the same year to preserve relatively equal notability.
  6. Holds a tennis record recognized 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.

Can only be created for players who have won at least one Grand Slam tournament singles title, onward from the year of their first title and provided they played at least 25 matches and reached a top 5 ranking during any year(s) without a Grand Slam tournament title. See examples for naming convention Category:Tennis player seasons

Wheelchair tennis (tournaments and players)

[edit]
Wheelchair tennis tournaments: the four Grand Slam tournaments, the Wheelchair Tennis Masters and the Summer Paralympics are notable.
Players are notable if they have won a Grand Slam tournament or end of year championship (in singles or doubles). Players are additionally notable if they were part of the winning team at the World Team Cup or won a medal at the Paralympics. See also WP:NOLYMPICS
Please do not create standalone draw articles for wheelchair tennis tournaments, include them in the main article, unless at a Grand Slam tournament.

Associations, organizations, clubs

[edit]
Article Type Examples Criteria for Creation Naming Considerations See also
National association South African Tennis Association

Deutscher Tennis Bund

Every nation's national tennis association is notable. Category:National members of the International Tennis Federation
Club or organization Notability for clubs and organizations is established by the criteria set out in WP:ORG. Generally there needs to be in-depth coverage in several reliable independent sources before a club or organization can be considered notable.

Coaches

[edit]

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

  1. The player has reached the final of or won one of the professional Grand Slam tournaments.
  2. The player has entered the ATP or WTA rankings top-10 for at least one week.
  3. The player was member of a champion team competing in a Davis Cup, Fed Cup, Hopman Cup (reserve players and team captains do not count).
  4. The player has won an ATP Masters 1000 or WTA Premier event and has reached at least one other final in Masters 1000 or WTA Premier.

These also ensure that the notability of one-hit wonders' coaches isn'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.

Rivalry Agassi–Sampras rivalry

Federer–Nadal rivalry

According to WP:NRIVALRY, rivalries are not inherently notable. We can only have articles about tennis rivalries if there is significant media coverage about the rivalry. For example, great rivalries (like those on the left) warrant an article, but articles about rivalries like Agassi–Rafter and Federer–Hewitt have been deleted by the community. If in doubt, consult WP:TENNIS before creating a new rivalry article. See examples for naming convention

Common style guidelines

[edit]

Not a newspaper. Not a stats book.

[edit]
  • Please read WP:NOT and more specifically WP:NOTNEWSPAPER and WP:NOTSTATSBOOK.
  • We are not supposed to add everything found in routine news coverage about the players. That would lead to articles becoming overdetailed and also avoid excessive listings of statistics.

Infobox

[edit]

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

Scores

[edit]

Tennis scores should be given in the following format, observing the use of the ndash separating the set scores, followed by a comma.

e.g. 7–5, 2-6, 6-3

Both winning and losing tie break scores should be added enclosed in <sup>(6–8)</sup> tags, again using an ndash;.

e.g. 7–5, 6–7(6–8), 7–6(7–5), 3–6, 16–14
  • ndash should always be used instead of a hyphen, preferably with the ndash character "–" rather than the HTML entity &ndash;
  • Scores should not be added to prose unless strictly necessary (i.e. sets a record). 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.
  • In wikitables and infoboxes, the above format is to be used.
  • In tournament draw/bracket-type articles (e.g. 2009 Wimbledon Championships – Men's Singles), both winning and losing tiebreak scores are required in superscript.

Images

[edit]

Per discussions, keep pictures to a reasonable amount based on article size. Two or three is usually enough for most articles, with a maximum of ten for the largest articles. Picture placement should usually convey the information being described in the prose.

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 photos but in most of the cases photos found on internet are not free or in the public domain and can not be used. When using Flickr be careful to follow the steps written here and don't forget to make it reviewed. Also try to browse Tennis on Commons for possibly free images. The basic concepts of uploading and further reading can be found here:

Flags

[edit]

In line with tennis talk summaries and Rfc's, and trying to stay in synch with WP:MOSFLAG, flagicons should only be used to show the internationally recognized nationality of players or the nationality of teams in team events (see Davis Cup). Flagicons should not be used to identify tournament location, place of birth and death, residence, city, or venue.

[edit]
  • 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 in an article.
  • 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.
[edit]

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

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

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'
  • Retired Tennis players

Succession Boxes

[edit]

Say you are on the Australian Open article. This sequence:

{{start box}}
{{succession box
 | title = [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam Tournament]]
 | years = '''January'''
 | before= [[US Open (tennis)|]] 
 | after = [[French Open]] 
 |}}
{{end box}}
  • previous = US Open (Notice the Help:Pipe trick)
    • Main article is year IN-specific
  • next = French Open (in May/June)
  • Use the "Years" field for the Month the tournament is played: "January"

Produces:

Preceded by Grand Slam Tournament
January
Succeeded by


  • For a Grand Slam, tournament edition article (e.g. 2009 US Open (tennis)) might show one Grand Slam to the next:
{{start box}}
{{succession box 
 | title = [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam Tournaments]] 
 | years = 
 | before= [[2009 Wimbledon Championships|2009 Wimbledon]]
 | after = [[2010 Australian Open]]
}}
{{end box}}
Preceded by Grand Slam Tournaments Succeeded by
  • Tournament edition article (e.g. 2009 Pilot Pen Tennis) might show sequence of tournaments in a series. Also note that succession boxes can be chained together.
{{start box}}
{{succession box
 | title = [[2009 US Open Series|2009 US Open Series<br />Men's Events]]
 | years =

Categories

[edit]
  • Watch for templates (especially within the footers) that may have already included a category.
  • If people constantly add things they should not; place a comment at that spot, e.g.
<!-- Category:Tennis is within {{TennisPortal}} -->

Style guidelines and best practices per article type

[edit]

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.

Tournament edition (year)

[edit]
  • When updating entry list and seeds, do not rely on gossip, Facebook accounts, fan pages of players, or news editor speculations. Generally wait for the official announcements.

Tournament draw

[edit]
  • 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.

"Year in tennis"

[edit]
  • These articles should give a concise overview of the year in tennis, without going in too much intricate details. The details can be kept in the articles about players and tournaments.

Fed Cup and Davis Cup Team

[edit]
Section Content and Guidelines
Lead Small presentation of the team: when they first played in the cup, how many titles they've won, the group/zone they compete in, their national governing body and the current coach.
Current team List of current squad (it should not be limited to the squad of their last match but the biggest extent of players who are frequently invited to play and available for the coach to draft)
History It could be a longer chronological description of major breakthroughs, titles, finals, big achievements, highest world ranking (of nations).
Players All the players who played for the team during the years.
Results Tables can be used. See "standardized tabular lists" for details.
See also Use {{davisfedseealso}} (see template documentation for usage information)
External links Make sure the following are listed and categories present:

Fed Cup and Davis Cup draw

[edit]
  • These are similar to single-year tournament articles.
  • See 2010 Davis Cup for sections, links, arrangement; ordering of draws, matches, teams.

Player

[edit]
  • Use WP:MOSBIO
  • Update world rankings beginning from Mondays, and only when the new weekly ATP and WTA rankings are published (do not pre-calculate them)
  • Use bolding on the player's name only once: on its first appearance in the introduction.
  • Do not apply bolding to any world rankings (even if it's world number one), opponent's name, scores, etc.

Lead

[edit]

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

History

[edit]
  • History - Childhood, where grew up, college.
  • Early years - amateur playing career.

Career

[edit]
  • 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.

Retirement

[edit]

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

Tournament results

[edit]

For a summary of titles and appearances in finals, use the standardized tables.

Fed Cup or Davis Cup

[edit]

For a Davis Cup match summary, use the standardized tables.

Awards or Records

[edit]

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.

See also

[edit]

The "See also" section should/could include:

  1. {{Portal|Tennis}}
  2. Lists (Top Men, or Top Women)

Please include the applicable following parameters (usage description is at the template page)

and consider using {{Commons category}} (if any)

Standardized tabular lists (titles, performance timelines)

[edit]

Tournament color scheme

[edit]

The following standardized color scheme should be used for all articles containing a tournament overview. The color scheme is AAA-level compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Historic tournaments that pre-date the current tournament classification should follow the scheme either directly, in case of predecessors, or else as closely as possible.

Men Women Color code

Titles

[edit]

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. The full tournament title should always be used along with its host country (e.g. Australian Open, Australia) rather than simply just the city and country in which the event is held (e.g. Melbourne, Australia). Any other categorization is possible (Tour type, court type) only if this general table is also present.
