	The [[Tennis Cup 5]] was a Youtube Poop [[tennis tournament]] that took place between June 16, 2023 and August 7, 2024. The 20th tennis tournament overall, it was the first tennis competition of the standard cup variety in over a decade, following the [[Tennis Cup 4]] in 2012, and the fourth and final tournament of the YTPMania era. As the YTPMania forums themselves were seeing almost no use in this era, this event ended up being the biggest source of its site activity through its duration, and was otherwise run mostly over on [[The Tennis Isles]]. This was the third of three tournaments to use the voting account "tournamentacc", described by mrdoognoog as "almost entirely utilitarian" due to Smonge, YTPMania's owner, having a strictness about alt accounts and the "lapse of YouChew knowledge" regarding the community's past history with being more playful with these accounts.<ref>https://ytptennis.com/w/images/d/d2/About_tournamentacc.png Screenshot from Discord</ref> The tournament's eventual winner was infinitysnapz.

Exterior software such as Blender saw very prominent usage, with an extensive focus on massive-in-scope deployment of 3D visual effects across rounds, an approach that has come to be referred to with occasional derision as "Trapezoidium" from 2024 onward. Many players from this tournament have also reserved feelings regarding their negative experiences from it, relating to a combination of performance expectations, percieved requirements to gain respect, and the pressure of having to do so within deadlines. infinitysnapz, the winner of this tournament, has also become increasingly critical of his performance, considering it to have intensified harmful precedents regarding the already prevalent generalizations within tennis:

	<small>"i do realise that alot of my popularity and respect comes from the fact that i was the right person in the right place, pushing visual boundaries in just the right way, doing crazy stuff nobody had ever seen before. my TC5 rounds blew alot of minds - and yet.. before 2022 nobody really knew who i was. admittedly, "trapezoidium" is partly responsible for this. the problem is that people think that is the Only way to become popular, which i think is really bad actually. you should not have to learn 3d effects to become popular. if everyone was to copy these 3d effects, the landscape would be very flat and boring. what was once super-impressive becomes a common boring sight, and we would all converge onto the same style, which would be terrible. i suppose to sum it up, i think there is only so much that can be done with blender before the novelty wears off." -infinitysnapz, April 14, 2025</small>		<small>"i do realise that alot of my popularity and respect comes from the fact that i was the right person in the right place, pushing visual boundaries in just the right way, doing crazy stuff nobody had ever seen before. my TC5 rounds blew alot of minds - and yet.. before 2022 nobody really knew who i was. admittedly, "trapezoidium" is partly responsible for this. the problem is that people think that is the Only way to become popular, which i think is really bad actually. you should not have to learn 3d effects to become popular. if everyone was to copy these 3d effects, the landscape would be very flat and boring. what was once super-impressive becomes a common boring sight, and we would all converge onto the same style, which would be terrible. i suppose to sum it up, i think there is only so much that can be done with blender before the novelty wears off." -infinitysnapz, April 14, 2025</small>
