Comments
This is looking better but there are a couple of problems: The Wins are incorrect. For Grand Slams, it is 11 victories overall, NOT how many times he participated in the Slams. So it should show 11 victories, with 6 in singles and 5 in doubles. Hayford Peirce
- Keep in mind I'm just working on the template format, not the data. --Robert W King 11:48, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
- Having said that, I'm not sure what you, Hayford, are referring to? The table currently shows 11 wins of which six were singles and five were doubles. That seems to be what you want? There is no participation figure for grand slams, although, a participation number is included for the Davis Cup in the text field. Chris Day (talk) 11:56, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

Nationality
Sorry, I don't see how I put my comments in that box. Anyway, I don't know what to do about it, but it seems wrong to have a single wide space for Nationality and then use it just to put in a couple of initials. In my Famous tennis players I used the entire word spelled out (since there was, of course, no space constraints). What could be done here? Maybe just put the nationality into the Bio info?

- I'm thinking we could have images for flags to put along with the abbreviations --Robert W King 11:54, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
- There were arguments and revert wars at WP about the Nazi (and Franco) flags being used for players during those epochs, ie, for Gottfried von Cramm, the great German player of the 30s, who was anti-Nazi, actually.... Hayford Peirce 12:05, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
