Comment: Eddie891 asked me to come and make this nomination, as discussed here, and they already did the QPQ, hence why the one listed above was done by Eddie.

Created by Eddie891 (talk) and Silver seren (talk). Nominated by Silver seren (talk) at 02:27, 25 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

New enough, long enough, and adequately sourced. The only potentially-suspicious copying found by Earwig was the phrase "this time in the quarterfinals", a little too close for my taste but I think not a serious problem. QPQ done by proxy; I see no reason why not to accept that. The hook is interesting and adequately sourced. Per DYK rules, we need a footnote on the actual sentences of the article that match the hook claims; I made a tiny change in the lead punctuation so that this would be satisfied. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:54, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Photogenic - - - but no pic ?[edit]

If she was so "photogenic," why is there no photo of her anywhere in the article?

Really think there should be a photo. 2600:8800:C89:EA00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 02:01, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It has been done thanks to Eddie891. Silver seren^C 15:31, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Table background colour[edit]

Is there a good reason for the background of the table to be that odd orange/brown? Is it just to make it harder to read because if so, it's certainly achieved that goal. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:48, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just copied the code from another tennis player's article. I don't particularly care about the color used. Silver seren^C 07:54, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
