Talk:2008 US Open (tennis)

message: I think this article is useless. It says absolutely nothing that can't be said about 2009 U.S. Open (tennis), 2010 U.S. Upen (tennis), etc. I think it should be revised or deleted. Smartyshoe 13:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: This article says absolutely nothing

message: Going to link over to Template talk:TennisEventInfo regarding my discussion of a "defending champion" not in competition (such as Justine Henin).  Not sure how much attention that page would get so perhaps someone viewing this page can take a peek at my comments there?  Thanks! Gnowor (talk) 17:52, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Defending Champion not in Competition? 

message: Hi, there is an extremely long and muddled discussion going on at WP:Tennis about the tournament tables found on tennis player articles (i.e. this type of table). The dispute is over the "Tournament Name" column, with the options being to either use the "sponsored tournament name" - in other words, the name involving the sponsor, for example Internazionali BNL d'Italia - or the "non-sponsored tournament name" - in other words, Rome Masters. I appreciate that this conversation is very long and convoluted, so a brief summary can be found here, which is also where I request the discussion continues. Thanks, rst20xx (talk) 21:52, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Roger Federer now has a 34 match win streak and not the 35 you all want to give him because back in 2004 in the 4th round he advanced due to a w/o, and technically this is not considered a win and apart of his streak! bluedogtn (talk) 00:51, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Would it be okay if we say he has 35 matches undefeated streak? LeaveSleaves (talk) 01:32, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be okay but you have to preface that with the 34 match win streak and say that the one of the 35 came via a W/O.Bluedogtn (talk) 21:50, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Walk-overs are not counted as wins in tennis

message: Please compare It was his only Grand Slam title of the year, his 13th overall, and his 5th consecutive win at the event. with  It was her 1st Grand Slam title of the year, her 9th overall, and her 3rd win at the event.  Can I change Serena's part to say  It was her only single Grand Slam title of the year, her 9th overall, and her 3rd win at the event. ?
Please feel free to comment. I will go ahead with the change but urge you to be bold and revert it if you deem it necessary to do so. Kushal (talk) 19:17, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  consistency  

message: I have undone an edit removing diacritics from the players' names.  Their names are unambiguously what is on their birth certificates, and spelling "Amélie" (for instance) without an accent is just plain wrong.
If the system can handle it, as it obviously can, what's the problem? Paul Magnussen (talk) 23:05, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Diacritics 

message: 1) The doubles team exits. Is there any way of knowing who went out on what day? Because it's currently unreferenced. I also wonder about the need for the bullet point about the singles, considering that it's easy enough to find out (just by reading the prose)... 2) Does anybody know what happened to the invitational events? Did they take place? Yohan euan o4 (talk) 13:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess the only way to know of each day's exits would be to go through the event's website schedule of play, and see, day by day, who won and who lost - I think we should keep the bullet points for the singles, to allow readers who just want to know in a glance who was out on each day to do it. As for the invitational events, they did take place, but the USO website is making it difficult by not publihsing the draws - I have tried several times to go through the completed matches section, catching the Invitational results to see if I could recreate the round robin groups, but it is completely incomprehensible. Just look at the Invitational Women's Singles, there are only two matches, one labeled Semifinals, the other Finals, and both taking place between Navratilova and Novotna. I suspect that the 2008 Invitational events did not take place as scheduled, or that they weren't round robin events like last year (2007 U.S. Open - Women's Champions Invitational). --Oxford St. (talk) 14:24, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the bullet points probably should be retained...there is this  on the invitationals (see bottom), they were scheduled for Thursday and Saturday. That's still not very helpful though. I'll look around some more. Yohan euan o4 (talk) 19:42, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

text: The problem with citing from the schedule urls is that the address remains the same for the next year, so the information for 2008 is only available until then. I'll list the results of the 'Finals' matches (invitationals) on the main page for the time being. Yohan euan o4 (talk) 23:15, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Problems solved. Link for doubles results, and dates on which they were played, is here: USA Today schedule. I'll sort 'Seeded players out' into alphabetical or descending order (of seed) aswell. Yohan euan o4 (talk) 21:42, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
