Naming conventions

[edit]

Are we leaving it how it is, or changing it to: R Federer or R. Federer for example? Yohan euan o4 (talk) 10:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updating Scores

[edit]

I feel they should only be updated after the matches are finished not updated after each set in every match. Vonce (talk) 01:46, 14 January 2008 (GMT)

I don't know. I used Wiki to keep myself updated when I couldn't watch Wimbledon on TV for one of the rounds last year. It was kind of nice being able to just quickly check in on all the matches. (Neosystems (talk) 02:32, 14 January 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Why? I do the same as I am sure many others to. Also, I assume that the [] mean it was 'overtime' sets (ie when a tiebreaker isnt used), is that correct?. 137.244.215.51 (talk) 15:15, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If people are willing to fill in this information, why stop them? --dantheox (talk) 17:15, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The brackets are used to represent when a match tiebreak occurs - only happens in the doubles. With the U.S. Open as the exception, playing until there is a two-game lead in the final set is standard at the grand slams. Back on topic, yes, updates mid-match are useful but the primary focus should be finished matches. Yohan euan o4 (talk) 16:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
