When in doubt, ask your questions on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis|WikiProject Tennis Talk]] page.
__TOC__

==Article types and recommended practices==
While there are [[:Category:WikiProject Tennis|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]].
:*When naming the new tournament page try to avoid the indication of sponsorship in the title and focus on the commonly accepted/known name of the tournament.
* '''Player articles'''
: e.g. [[Bill Tilden]], [[Steffi Graf]], [[Roger Federer]], [[Martina Navratilova]]. These are collected in [[:Category:Tennis players]].
:*Use common English spelling as found on the [http://www.itftennis.com/ ITF website], the governing body for all tennis. Also check (especially for pre-Open Era players) the name most commonly found in reliable English sources: press releases, grand slam websites, other tournament sites, books, etc.
:*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. 
:*Update world rankings beginning from Mondays, and only when the new weekly ATP and WTA rankings are published (do not pre-calculate them).
:*Use [[WP:MOSBIO]]
* '''Player career statistics articles'''
: e.g. [[Chris Evert career statistics]], [[Ken Rosewall career statistics]], [[Pete Sampras career statistics]]
:*Created when a player's main article gets too large, per wikipedia standards.
* '''{{visible anchor|Player tennis season articles}}'''
{{Shortcut|WP:TENNISSEASON}}
[[File:WPTENNISSEASON mind map.png|thumb|right|400px|WP:TENNISSEASON mind map]]
: e.g. [[2011 Novak Djokovic tennis season]], [[2010 Rafael Nadal tennis season]], [[2013 Serena Williams tennis season]]
:*Can only be created for singles players who have won at least one Grand Slam tournament singles title;
:*Onward from the year of their first title;
:*Played at least 25 matches in the season;
:*Reached a top-5 ranking during any year(s) without a Grand Slam tournament title.
* '''Coach articles'''
: e.g. [[Richard Williams (tennis coach)|Richard Williams]], [[:Category:Tennis coaches]], [[:Category:Australian tennis coaches]]
* '''Single-year tournament articles'''
: e.g. [[2008 Wimbledon Championships ]] or [[1974 U.S. Pro Tennis Championships]]. See also the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject tennis/Grand Slam Project|Grand Slam Project]].
:*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.
:*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. 
* '''Draw articles'''
: 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.
:*Do not create standalone articles for the qualifying rounds of smaller tournaments. Add them below the main draw in the Draw article. 
* '''Davis/Fed Cup articles'''
: e.g. [[Yugoslavia Davis Cup team]], [[2008 Fed Cup]]. These are similar to single-year tournament articles.
* '''Tennis by year articles'''
: e.g. [[2008 in tennis]], [[1931 in tennis]]
:*These articles should give a concise overview of the year in tennis, without going in too much intricate detail. The details can be kept in the articles about players and tournaments.
* '''(National) tennis organizations'''
: e.g. [[Association of Tennis Professionals]], [[International Tennis Federation]], [[South African Tennis Association]], [[Deutscher Tennis Bund]]

<small>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.</small>

Please read [[WP:NOT]] and more specifically [[WP:NOTNEWSPAPER]] and [[WP:NOTSTATSBOOK]].<br>
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''.

==Notability==
{{WikiProject notability essay|type=section}}
{{for|the notability guideline about tennis|WP:NTENNIS}}
Before creating a new article please check its notability. 

===Player===
Significant coverage is likely to exist for a tennis player if he/she:
#Is a member of the [[International Tennis Hall of Fame]], either in the ''contributor'' or ''player'' category
#Has competed in one of the international team competitions: [[Fed Cup]]/[[Billie Jean King Cup]], [[Davis Cup]], [[Hopman Cup]] or [[World Team Cup]].
#Has competed in the main draw in one of these higher level professional tournaments:
#*[[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] tournaments.
#*Men: [[ATP Tour]] tournaments (the [[ATP Finals]], [[ATP Masters 1000 tournaments|ATP Masters 1000]], [[ATP 500 tournaments|ATP 500]], or [[ATP 250 tournaments|ATP 250]] events).
#*Women: [[WTA Tour]] tournaments (the [[WTA Finals]], [[WTA 1000 tournaments|WTA 1000]], the [[WTA 500]], or [[WTA 250]] events).
#Has won at least one title in any of the [[ATP Challenger Tour|ATP Men's Challenger]] tournaments (Challenger 50, Challenger 75, Challenger 100, Challenger 125, or Challenger 175 events).
#Has won at least one title in the [[WTA 125 tournaments|WTA Challenger level]] tournaments, or in any of [[ITF Women's Circuit|ITF W50, W75, or W100]] tournaments from 2023 onward ($50,000+ between 2008 and 2022, $25,000+ between 1978 and 2007), or any [[WTA 125K series|WTA 125K]] tournament. The threshold is based on the lowest payout for men's [[ATP Challenger Tour|Challenger tournaments]] in the same year to preserve relatively equal notability.
#Holds a tennis record recognized by the [[International Tennis Federation]], [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP]] or [[Women's Tennis Association|WTA]].
Significant coverage of junior players usually happens if they have won at least a junior Grand Slam tournament title, have been in the top 3 of the [[ITF Junior Circuit|junior ITF]] [http://www.itftennis.com/juniors/rankings/player-rankings.aspx world rankings] or can be shown to meet the wider requirements of [[Wikipedia:General notability guideline|WP:GNG]].

This guideline applies equally to singles and doubles players.

===Coach===
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]]). It is extremely likely that significant coverage occurs for coaches when:
#The player has reached the final of or won one of the professional Grand Slam tournaments.
#The player has entered the ATP or WTA rankings top-10 for at least one week.
#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).
#The player has won an ATP Masters 1000 or [[WTA Premier tournaments|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 [[Wikipedia:General notability guideline|WP:GNG]].

===Tournament===
*:'''Men''': Any men's tournament is notable if it is part of the [[ATP Tour]] (including qualifications) or the [[ATP Challenger Tour]] (excluding qualifications). Men's ITF tournaments are not considered notable 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 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.
*:'''Women''': Notable tournaments include the [[WTA Premier tournaments]] (including qualifications), [[WTA International tournaments]] (including qualifications) and [[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.
*: Exhibition tournaments should establish their notability on other grounds (e.g. several top 10 players present, notability in history, significant media coverage,... etc.).
*:When naming the new tournament page try to avoid the indication of sponsorship in the title and focus on the commonly accepted/known name of the tournament (which generally refers to the place where it's held or a famous person that it is named after, though sometimes it is inevitable).

===Other===
*'''If it's a match''' :
*:Matches that deserve their own articles on Wikipedia are those that have received significant coverage compared to other tennis matches at a similar level, such as matches of record-setting events or matches with significant controversies. Please consult [[WP:TENNIS]] before creating such articles. See [[:Category:Tennis matches]]

*'''If it's a national tennis team''' :
*:significant coverage is likely to exist for very nation's Davis Cup and Fed Cup team. Hopman Cup teams would be the same.

*'''If it's a 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 [[Agassi–Sampras rivalry|Agassi–Sampras]] or [[Federer–Nadal rivalry|Federer–Nadal]] 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.

*'''If it is a tennis club or organization''' :
*:Notability for clubs and organizations is established by the criteria set out in [[WP:N]]. Generally there needs to be in-depth coverage in several reliable independent sources before a club or organization can be considered notable.

*'''If it's an item of equipment''' :
*:Focus on its significance, usage, development and evolution, historical background and avoid advertisement and commercial purposes.
*'''For rules, court types, stadiums... etc.''' :
*:For tennis venues, consider [[WP:NPLACE]] and [[WP:LOCAL]].
*:Though most of the possible articles exist, feel free to improve them. For a complete list see {{tl|tennis box}}
*'''Wheelchair tennis''' :
*: Wheelchair tennis tournaments: the four [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] tournaments, the [[Wheelchair Tennis Masters]]  and the [[Summer Paralympic Games|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.

{{for|the notability guideline about tennis|WP:NTENNIS}}

==Format==
General format considerations

=== #1:Infobox ===
* Players and coaches – {{tl|Infobox tennis biography}}
* Tournaments
** Grand Slam tournaments – {{tl|Infobox GrandSlamTournaments}}
** All other tournaments – {{tl|Infobox tennis tournament}}
** Tournament edition – {{tl|Infobox tennis tournament year}}
** Tournament event – {{tl|Infobox tennis tournament event}}
* Scores and matches – {{tl|DavisCupbox}}, {{tl|infobox tennis match}}, {{tl|Infobox GrandSlamTournamentsFinals}}, etc.

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

=== Scores ===
{{Shortcut|WP:TENNIS/scores|WP:TENSCR}}
Tennis scores should be given in the following format, observing the use of the en dash separating the set scores, followed by a comma. Both winning and losing tie break scores should be added enclosed in <nowiki><sup>( )</sup></nowiki> tags, again using an en dash.
*'''format''': 7–5, 6–7<sup>(6–8)</sup>, 7–6<sup>(7–5)</sup>, 3–6, 16–14
*[[en dash]] should always be used instead of a [[hyphen]], preferably with the en dash symbol "–" rather than the en dash entity "&amp;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. [[2019 Wimbledon Championships – Men's Singles#Finals|2019 Wimbledon Championships – Men's Singles]]), both winning and losing tiebreak scores are required in [[superscript]]:
{{2TeamBracket|compact=y|sets=5
|RD1-seed1=1
|RD1-team1={{flagicon|SRB}} '''[[Novak Djokovic]]'''
|RD1-score1-1='''7<sup>7</sup>'''
|RD1-score1-2=1
|RD1-score1-3='''7<sup>7</sup>'''
|RD1-score1-4=4
|RD1-score1-5='''13<sup>7</sup>'''

|RD1-score2-2='''6'''
|RD1-score2-3=6<sup>4</sup>
|RD1-score2-4='''6'''
|RD1-score2-5=12<sup>3</sup>
}}
* Retirements and disqualifications are also superscripted, with neither team's score bolded. If occurring at the end of a set, they are shown at 0–0 in the next set:

{{col-float}}

| RD1-score2-1=
| RD1-score2-2=
| RD1-score2-3=
}}

=== Pictures ===
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.

=== Flags ===
In line with tennis talk summaries and Rfc's, and trying to stay in synch with [[WP:MOSFLAG]], flagicons should be used only to show the internationally recognized nationality of players when they are representing their country in a competition, or to show the nationality of teams in team events (see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis/Article guidelines#Davis Cup|Davis Cup]]). Flagicons should not be used to identify tournament locations, places of birth and death, residences, cities, or venues. Per [[MOS:INFOBOXFLAG]], the infobox may contain the national flag icon of an athlete who competes in competitions where national flags are commonly used as representations of sporting nationality in a given sport, but this does not include events such as [[1974 NCAA Division I Tennis Championships]], where competitors are representing their colleges or universities.

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

=== #2:Lead ===
The '''Lead''' should be a brief summary of WHO the person is, WHY they are here (accomplishments), potentially WHAT they are doing now.
{{cquote|'''Laura Robson''' (born 21 January 1994) is an [[English people|English]] [[tennis]] player. She debuted on the [[International Tennis Federation]] (ITF) junior tour in 2007, and a year later won the [[2008 Wimbledon Championships - Girls' Singles|Wimbledon Junior Girls' Championship]] at the age of 14. As a junior, she also twice reached the final of the [[Australian Open]], in [[2009 Australian Open - Girls' Singles|2009]] and [[2010 Australian Open - Girls' Singles|2010]]. She won her first professional tournament in November 2008. As of 8 November 2010, Robson has a rank on the [[Women's Tennis Association|WTA]] singles tour of 206 and doubles tour of 127.}}

=== #3:History ===
* '''History''' – Childhood, where grew up, college.
{{cquote|[[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.
{{cquote|[[Leander Paes|(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.
{{cquote|(Michael) Boulding was both a skilled [[association football|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&nbsp;players in Britain. He held an [[Association of Tennis Professionals|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 F.C.|Doncaster Rovers]], and in 1998 he joined non-league [[Hallam F.C.|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 F.C.|Mansfield Town]]. He was given a contract by the [[Football League Third Division|Division Three]] side and turned professional in 1999, which brought an end to his tennis career.}}
* '''Results''' – If the scoreboard is more than {twenty?}; consider splitting out into a separate article named "{personName} career statistics". Such as [[Novak Djokovic career statistics]].
Otherwise the following wikitable is institutionalized with columns for ''Result, W–L, Date, Tournament, Tier, Surface, Opponent, and Score.'' Results shall show a "win" or "loss" in the final. W–L shall be in small format and show the running total of wins and losses in finals. The date should show the month/year of the event, be in <nowiki>{{dts|month year}}</nowiki> format to properly sort, and link to the specific yearly tournament draw if possible. The common 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). These should be the non-sponsored event names if possible. The tier names can be abbreviated so as not to make the column too wide. The tournament and tier columns should be properly color-coded to match the ATP/WTA tier level as explained below in the ''Tournament color scheme'' section. Subsections containing this table should be named '''Career  finals / ATP Tour and Grand Slam finals''' or any other that refers to the content.

==== Notes ====
*Results from the [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slams]], [[ATP World Tour Masters 1000]], [[ATP World Tour Finals]], [[Summer Olympics]] and [[Davis Cup]] are acceptable for inclusion in [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP]] players' performance timelines. Results from the [[ATP Tour 500|ATP Tour 500 series]], [[ATP Tour 250|ATP Tour 250 series]], [[ATP Challenger Tour]], ITF Futures tournaments, or junior tournaments should not be included and/or separated into timelines; they instead should be documented within the body of the player's article.
*The default font size (100%) should be used. There is usually no need to change the font size of tables and performance timelines by adding "style=font-size:97%".
*Using background colors to highlight tournament headings (e.g. Grand Slam tournaments, Year-end championship etc.) is inappropriate and unnecessary.
*The bottom Grand Slam tournament only timeline is used on a player's main article if they have a career statistics article with the full timeline.
*The years must be linked to the tours from 1970 onward. See [[Rod Laver#Performance timeline|Rod Laver]] for a timeline spanning the pre Open and Open Eras.
*Every timeline must have a [[Template:Performance key|key]].

==== Notes ====
*Results from the [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slams]], [[WTA Premier Tournaments|WTA Premier Mandatory Events]], [[WTA Premier Tournaments|WTA Premier 5 Events]], [[WTA Tour Championships]], [[Tournament of Champions (tennis)|Tournament of Champions]], [[Summer Olympics]] and [[Billie Jean King Cup|Billie Jean King/Fed Cup]] are acceptable for inclusion in a [[Women's Tennis Association|WTA]] player's performance timelins. Results from the [[WTA Premier Tournaments|WTA Premier Events]], [[WTA International Tournaments|WTA International Events]], [[ITF Women's Circuit]], or junior events should not be included and/or separated into timelines and instead should be documented within the body of the player's article.
*The default font size (100%) should be used. There is usually no need to change the font size of tables and performance timelines by adding "style=font-size:97%".
*Using background colors to highlight tournament headings (e.g. Grand Slam tournaments, Fed Cup Singles etc.) is inappropriate and unnecessary.
*The bottom Grand Slam tournament only timeline is usually used on a player's main article if they have a career statistics article with the full timeline.
*The years must be linked to the tours from 1971 onward. See [[Billie Jean King#Grand Slam tournament timeline|Billie Jean King]] for a timeline spanning the pre Open and Open Eras.
*Every timeline must have a [[Template:Performance key|key]].

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 {{tl|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.
{{cquote|(Martina) Hingis played an exhibition match at the Liverpool International tournament on 13 June 2008. Although this event was a warm-up for [[The Championships, Wimbledon|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==

===General===
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: <nowiki>[[yyyy in tennis]]</nowiki>.
* Only link dates as above once in 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).
*

==Wikilinks==

===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'
* Retired Tennis players

===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 content|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  [[Commons:Flickr files|here]] and don't forget to make it [[Commons:Category:Flickr review needed|reviewed]]. Also try to browse [[Commons:Category:Tennis|Tennis on Commons]] for possibly free images. The basic concepts of uploading and further reading can be found here:
*[[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]]
*[[Wikipedia:Image use policy]]
