Because Wikipedia is neither an almanac nor a catalogue. This list is a context-less collection of statistics, which makes no effort to add any encyclopaedic context. Pages such as Roger Federer career statistics, individual tournament entries and annual world tour articles (eg 2009 ATP World Tour) do a more than adequate job of providing information about tennis matches and careers, whilst also including a lot of statistical material. This page is a needless addition. Pretty Green (talk) 11:51, 3 March 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Logan Talk Contributions 03:26, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is not a fixture list especially when that list is over a thousand entries long. MLA (talk) 21:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete – I don't think that this indiscriminate list is appropriate for the encyclopedia. If people want to know who Federer beat in the third round of a random tournament ten years ago, they can always go to a page on that event if it exists, and there are plenty of stats already at Roger Federer career statistics.

 * Delete - Just fixture and not suitable for Wikipedia. Pelmeen10 (talk) 23:06, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
