Quadruples and Triples
This is about Serena's quadruple (Miami-Madrid-Rome-Canada) consecutive calendar WTA 1000 tournaments in 2013.
Referring to your talk page, please go through the complete discussion. It was particular to ATP Masters, specifically on USA Hard triple (Non-consecutive) and referred sourced combos from ATP website on "DOUBLES" only. I mentioned about WTA 1000 tournaments, which were never sourced combos (for Quadruples and Triples without any source; these are not even sourced combos in ATP as well) but only consecutive 1000 tournaments in a calendar year. Further, there was no agreement on this as you mentioned on Quadruples/Triples except on non-consecutive USA hard triple (no addition of IW-Miami-Cincy). It was added as a note for Serena for 2013 calendar combo achievement, similar to Nadal's 2013 calendar combo achievement in ATP article. Hope you agree on this and revert the same on Serena's 4 consecutive WTA 1000 tournaments in a calendar year without any mess..Cheers... Krmohan (talk) 16:57, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Krmohan, before I state my opionion on the matter, are you okay with taking this to the project's talk page to get more input from other editors in the community? I feel like the unsourced combos have no place there, which would then merit removal of wta doubles quadruples as well. Qwerty284651 (talk) 17:14, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not necessarily, will come back on this with more details tomorrow. We have to treat WTA and ATP 1000 tournaments differently due to obvious reasons. ATP doubles are sourced but all are not back-to-back but consecutive (e.g. IW-MIAMI, MAD-ROME, CANADA-CINCY but SHG-PARIS). All quadruples and triples in WTA and ATP have to be consecutive, but need not be necessarily sourced. In my opinion, quadruples have also to be tabulated on the top as they are very few and tough achievements than triples/doubles. Doubles have to be either sourced or back-to-back. Other than this, consecutive doubles in ATP & WTA should not be considered. The same will not disturb existing articles, except addition of Nadal and Serena 2013 unique achievements. Krmohan (talk) 18:08, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- In my view, it is not required. It may lead to confusion/mess. Quadruples need not be sourced as official calendar combos, as the articles are not only about records but also stats. "Four consecutive 1000 tournaments in a calendar year" addition in the Singles and Doubles articles (WTA & ATP) either as records or stats is good enough. Let me know your opinion....Cheers. Krmohan (talk) 14:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Add them as footnotes, similar to Nadal's on men's singles page. Qwerty284651 (talk) 14:37, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Done.
- Further, Only active combinations in ATP and WTA "singles" and "doubles" are indicated in "BOLD" for Quadruples/Triples/Doubles.
- Cheers Krmohan (talk) 17:27, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Define active. Qwerty284651 (talk) 19:27, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Titles with the current order of ATP/WTA 1000 series tournaments. Readers to refer ATP 9 and WTA 10 tournaments of 2024. Let us show systematically in all the four articles.. Krmohan (talk) 01:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would challenge the addition of "season end triple" as unsourced and unnotable per WP:V&N. I will also remove any unsourced quadruples (women's doubles, especially), which is a term invented on wiki and not the media.
- Nadal's quadruple spans 2 sets of combinations (madrid-rome and canada-cincinnati), which I surmise is "acceptable". Serena's, on the other hand, miami–canada (madrid-rome as only verifiable double) isn't noteworthy in the combo section as it does not span across notable combinations. The regular doubles: iw-mi, ma-ro, ca-ci and sha-pa (wu-be for women's) are covered by media as they are contested very close to each other usually a week max. apart in the same month or location. The clay triple (rare feat only achieved once:winning all clay masters by Nadal is sourced). Other triples are unique, wherein the first 3 (because it opens the season-is consistent and can be sourced) and a borderline verifiable. Season end, though, are redundant, add clutter and have no place in the section. Having a season-opening triple does not merit that a season-closing/ending triple be added. Qwerty284651 (talk) 04:50, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Active combination sounds confusing for readers, even for me. I get what you were going for. I would leave as it was active tournaments. Not ambiguous and it is logical. Qwerty284651 (talk) 06:01, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- You may please. However, I am very clear about active tournaments and active combinations. e.g.
- a) Active tournaments means tournaments in the current series, for example Hamburg is not active as ATP 1000 tournament, but Madrid is active tournament.
- b) Active combination means Doha-Dubai-IW is active but not Doha-IW-Miami, Cincy-SHG-Paris is but not Montreal-Zurich-Moscow (triples in WTA) whereas Madrid-Rome is active but not Madrid-Paris (doubles in ATP). Players will get the opportunity to achieve active combinations only.
- Cheers... Krmohan (talk) 09:05, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
You may please
I may what?- a) That is self-explanatory. No questions there.
- b) I understand the terminology but it is not WP:COMMONNAME. I propose "official combinations" as an alternative for "active tournaments" if we decide on a different name. Qwerty284651 (talk) 14:59, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- I propose active calendar combinations.
- Otherwise, you may leave as it is or change as you propose.... Krmohan (talk) 17:03, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Active calendar combinations.
- Official combinations.
- Official calendar combinations.
- Let's vote on it. I vote for 2. or 3. Qwerty284651 (talk) 17:29, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- I vote for 1 or 3 Krmohan (talk) 01:29, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Then we have a winner. Option 3: Official calendar combinations. Qwerty284651 (talk) 11:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes Krmohan (talk) 17:08, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- The official combinations being: 2x: IW-MI, MA-RO, CA-CI, SHA-PA, DO-DU (whenever someone manages to win both doha and dubai on the bounce) and WU-BE; 3x: season first triple since it is sourced but not the season end triple. A season-begin does not merit an addition of a season-end triple; 4x: n/a (so far, I have found any media that referenceds a streak as a "quadruple": maybe 2 sets of 2 doubles but not a quadruple).

- With the note out of the way, this now leaves us with the insertion of "quadruples". With a footnote only or an actual "quadruple" table, if sourced? Qwerty284651 (talk) 11:34, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Already thought over this. Quadruple winners in all four articles (ATP/WTA Singles/Doubles). From the content point of view, it is already tabulated for WTA doubles. Quadruple is better achievement for a player than triple, which is already subset of quadruple. Better quadruples of Nadal, Serena and Bryan brothers are also tabulated and remove footnotes under triples/doubles to standardize the content in all four articles. Krmohan (talk) 17:19, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Because we are listing official combinations, I would modify the note to read "Official active tournaments and combinations listed in bold, because Stockholm/Madrid are no longer active events (madrid in its then 8-slot) as the fall double.
- And remove the quadruple tables from wta doubles (couldn't find any sources listing 4 in a row at the start of year) and keep the same for the other 3 pages. Replacing the quadruple table with a footnote.
- Thoughts? Qwerty284651 (talk) 21:10, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Better show it grammatically "Official active tournaments/combinations".
- Mentioning all quadruples as footnotes is also ok.
- But I think placement of quadruple at one position in the articles must be given due weightage (may be at the start or under triples table). Now, it is just as footnotes under table of triples/doubles. It should be more recognisable as triple (e.g. Miami-Madrid-Rome of Serena in 2013) is not covered in triples table but anyways in quadruple footnotes. Krmohan (talk) 02:19, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Because the quadruples are not official combinations, they can be placed as a footnote in the "Consecutive records" section above the combo section. Qwerty284651 (talk) 13:02, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- By now, one is aware that mostly ATP/WTA doubles are only sourced, not even triples & quadruples. Consecutive records are beyond single season. In that sense, there is no need of calendar title combinations topic, if all treated as normal consecutive titles.
- Eventually, there are following options
- 1. Keep all Quadruple, triple and doubles in the form of tables.
- 2. Keep triples, doubles in table and quadruple as a season record in combos
- 3. Remove calendar title combos and keep only sourced doubles.
- 4. Quadruples as a season record under consecutive records as suggested by you.
- In my view, No.2 is more apt for stats content and readers point of view... Krmohan (talk) 17:49, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- In fact,I would leave all four articles as they are now rather than tinkering.Krmohan (talk) 10:43, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- I agree. I will add {{efn}} for the footnotes and leave the rest as is. Qwerty284651 (talk) 14:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- I removed the season end triples as not official combinations. Qwerty284651 (talk) 14:27, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- I am fine with the way it is right now.
- Frankly, I did not come across any official sources for season first triple, season first quadruple, autumn sweep, etc. from ATP or WTA sources.
- But, there are no big title(s)(Grandslam, YEC, Olympics) between those calendar titles combinations in the four articled, which is perfect for explanation.

- I could source Serena's quadruple and Hingis's season end triple achievements in Iga's season first triple article..Then, should we add season end consecutive WTA/ATP titles...Just wanted to double check with you... Krmohan (talk) 16:37, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Iga's season first triple article? Iga Swiatek article or wta's 1000 singles article? Qwerty284651 (talk) 17:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi,
- Sorry for the late response. I was referring to this article where Serena's four consecutive titles (Miami-Madrid-Rome-Toronto aka quadruple) and Hingis's three consecutive titles (Montreal-Moscow-Zurich, aka season end triple) as a WTA record against Iga's three consecutive titles (Doha - Indian Wells - Miami, aka season first triple). Further, four consecutive titles are best suited to mention as footnotes under "Triples" table with active tournaments in bold. [1]. Cheers... Krmohan (talk) 14:02, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Changed as a record for four consecutive titles in ATP Singles, Doubles and WTA Singles article.
- I will Wait for your inputs on season end triple of Hingis (WTA Singles), Hingis & Mirza (WTA Doubles) and Bryan brothers (ATP Doubles).... Krmohan (talk) 14:57, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- At this point, I feel we've been nitpicking for quadruples and season-end for far too long. And I've decided to step back and let you have at it. Whatever you feel like adding in the way you want it to be added and/or changed, then go for it.
- Cheers, Qwerty284651 (talk) 15:37, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I just want to let u know that it is not about nitpicking but do not want to undermine similar exceptional performance achieved by other players/living legends in tennis and also standardization point of view. Whatever changes I have done so far, those are final from my side and do not change them. Thanks for allowing me to put the quadruple texts in proper order.
- I am not adding so called Quadruples/season-end triples in the tabular form, as these are not back-to-back tournaments due to presence of other big titles (Grand slam(s)) in between those ATP/WTA 1000 tournaments. But four consecutive 1000 tournaments are mentioned as a season-record in the text separately. Please also refer calendar sweeps in ATP/WTA Big titles articles.....Bye for now to close this topic.. Cheers... Krmohan (talk) 14:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Qwerty284651,
I don't know why you keep creating this page when there is no Wikipedia:Ten page. Orphaned talk pages are deleted via CSD G8. Liz Read! Talk! 23:03, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- I created it as a redirect to the WT:TEN which does not always redirect me automatically (is it a upper/lowercase thing or something? I do not know) to the target talk page of the tennis wikiproject. And I have to click another link, which is an extra step. For ease of access for me, I tried recreating it twice now, but I guess it goes against guidelines. Oh, well.
- Anyway. Thanks for the head's up about it being an orphaned talk page. Qwerty284651 (talk) 23:57, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
collapsible show/hide box.
Please stop the revert war. Help pages are for helping people. Being more clear is a good thing. Not a bad thing. I have this discussion many times with editors who don't edit help pages as much as I do.
Some editors may not know what a collapse box is. But they have probably seen the "show/hide" toggle on navboxes, etc.. So they then put 2 and 2 together with the longer phrase "collapsible show/hide box." See: Curse of knowledge. Please reply here.
