It is just a repository of results and is unsourced. There are also no reliable sources, which describe this as a rivalry. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about about my edits? 09:20, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment - Similar tennis rivalry articles have been deleted recently, e.g. Articles for deletion/Agassi–Chang rivalry (2nd nomination). The problem is that without independent media coverage about 'the rivalry' itself, these articles are nothing but head-to-head results lists, and we have no prose to go with it. It then fails WP:NOTSTATSBOOK.
 * According to WP:NSPORTS, rivalries are not inherently notable. We need several sources about the rivalry to justify having a standalone article about it. That's also what we included in the notability guidelines on the wikiproject tennis recently WikiProject_Tennis/Article_guidelines.
 * If somebody can find sources we can keep this article, otherwise it is a delete. MakeSense64 (talk) 11:55, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as unreferenced, and as nom indicated, functions only as a list of results. No content worthy of inclusion in an encyclopaedia. Cloudz 679 21:36, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I do not see anything here worth the merging.  DGG ( talk ) 09:17, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - without the requisite "significant coverage" to indicate this is generally perceived as an actual rivalry, there is no point merging anything. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 17:14, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
