'''The Tennis Isles''' is a Discord server formed in 2019 by that serves as a primary home for the [[YTP Tennis]] community. It coexists ''separately'' alongside the current forum site (currently, {{YellowTealPurple}}) for more informal conversation and voice chats, as well as serving a central role in tennis for under-18 players after the forum's 18+ shift. It is managed by some of the former and current [[Tennis Staff]] members; as of October 2025 {{infinitysnapz}} is the server owner.

The original logo was designed by {{java}}, while the current redesign was created by {{infinitysnapz}}.

=History=

{{Stub}}

The Tennis Isles was first created in September 13, 2019 by {{nm41}}, {{VidTens443}}, and {{java}} in hopes of easier communication among the [[tennis]] community and to organize tennis events, in which the server was created days before the start of [[Tennis League 5]].

In September 2023, a verification system was put into place to vet out bots and other potentially unwanted accounts. Users are asked to prove their existence (or the player they claim to be), usually by sharing their [[YouTube]] account.

=Emoji=
TTI has many custom emojis, many of which relate to various matches and in-jokes within the community. Many emoji also relate to non-tennis references to particular members, in particular {{nm41}} who ran the server for quite a while.

Here's an explanation of each of the current ones (that relate to tennis):
