Welcome!
Hello, Jordan.blackburn546, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:31, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Draft notes
Hi Jordan, I took a look at your draft and I am concerned that this looks to be an essay as opposed to a Wikipedia article. With articles we can only summarize what others have explicitly written about the topic and any viewpoints must be attributed to the specific person(s). Content also needs to be cited in-line with a full citation, as otherwise it's difficult to verify the claims and sourcing. This isn't bad, but it will need work before it could be added to the tennis article.

On a side note, I did see on the talk page that you stated that tennis couldn't be part of a WikiProject, but there is actually one that is specifically tennis oriented - WikiProject Tennis. I thought that you might find that interesting, if you wanted to check that out and maybe participate in it long term. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:54, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Tennis
No messages pop up when I am trying to save, the issue is that it does not allow me to save when I include the citations. Jordan.blackburn546 (talk) 17:14, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
