Is there really enough here to meet WP:NRIVALRY (read: gng)? Not seeing it. Sourcing that I have found describes the two in broader contexts of tennis competition, but not specifically focused on their rivalry. Eddie891 Talk Work 19:10, 29 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete - I don't see it either. Per Wikiproject Tennis: "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 or 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." That's what this looks like to me. The fact it was deleted before, when they were both playing and in the news, speaks loudly that this is not a player interaction that requires a stand-alone article. 19:39, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Fyunck(click) (talk)

 * Delete - the article doesn't seem to be a "rivalry" versus a head-to-head match history. It's not something that I can find any significant references to. LizardJr8 (talk) 23:41, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
