Hantuchova–Schnyder rivalry
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Rivalries are based on public perception and large media participation. Laver/Rosewall, Evert/Navratilova, Sampras/Agassi, Federer/Nadal... this is not a rivalry. I can't fathom someone actually searching for this page and it should be removed with the pertinent info added to their respective articles. These players were usually ranked in the teens with top rankings of 4 and 7 respectively. Throughout tennis history there have been plenty of the water bottle kicking intensities between players... we certainly don't need an entire article about it.

 * Delete. Notability hangs on the statement " This rivalry is considered to be one of the longest, controversial and most intense on the WTA tour." The cited source didn't even hint at this, and I have removed this extravagant claim. StAnselm (talk) 04:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - The press pretty much will call the competitions between any two tennis players rivalries. What would establish notability would be actual coverage about the rivalry rather than the word "rivalry" appearing in routine coverage about matches between the two players.  I can find examples of the latter, but none of the former. -- Whpq (talk) 13:45, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
