Tennis Archives

There are many collections of tennis across the internet, most of which reupload content that may have been taken down.

Spreadsheets

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10cpwoIfVKUZLDYPYNmOMH6X3oG5g3D4Q6O3JDCcfyf0/ - The "Tournament Masterlist", started in the early 2020's for keeping track of tournament rounds as well as tracking deadlines.

https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/tennis-rosters-thread.234/ - The Tennis Rosters thread on YellowTealPurple. Contains rosters for active players as well as a "meta-roster" maintained by the Tennis Staff that contains archives of old and new rosters.

YouTube Accounts

These accounts specialize in archiving tennis, as well as various YTP content.

Active Archives

https://www.youtube.com/@TennisFacksJr - TennisFacksJr, originally created by vel 17, CaptainStringCheese and dani_phantump in 2012, the official Tennis Staff run tennis archive. Has the largest majority of reuploads, especially tournament rounds. Formerly held the channel title of Son of ChewFacks. It is the second iteration of the titular ChewFacks/TennisFacks, which was created by Crash2991 in 2008 but held no uploads, only playlists. It unfortunately no longer exists due to this.

https://www.youtube.com/@maniafax / https://www.youtube.com/@videotennisarchive - YouWouldBeWelcome, the other official Tennis Staff archive, primarily posting video compilations of matches.

https://www.youtube.com/@anothertennisarchivechanne1013 - An archive channel run by nonojuju, has many gophrmann reuploads among many other things.

https://www.youtube.com/@thechutleyarchive3608 An archive channel run by TheChutley, consisting of her compiled matches and solo work. Previously she had compiled her matches on the account Yeltch up to October 2009.

https://www.youtube.com/@aw8qn_reup - An archive channel run by aw8qn

https://www.youtube.com/@tennisseashore - Tennis Sea Shore, an archive channel run by BortLoco.

https://www.youtube.com/@BleepBlup - Purple Cat Archive; run by Yottifferent.

https://www.youtube.com/@RaymanChromeReuploads - Another archive channel, this one by RaymanChrome. Lots of reuploads from the "younger side" of the community.

https://www.youtube.com/@emptyhous - One of vel 17's archive channels.

Inactive Archives

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVQPzavuB2xL60Q6D3gSmUA - One of the very first tennis archive channels, mostly IceSumo videos.

https://www.youtube.com/@tnuoccAtlA - Another very old alt account, run by MycroProcessor.

https://www.youtube.com/@Raz0rEdgeALTERNATE - Another one of vel 17's archive channels, much older than the former.

https://www.youtube.com/@vidtens443alternate - VidTens443's alt account, mostly used for tennis reuploads. This was largely abandoned when they became tennis staff and gained access to TennisFacksJr and YouWouldBeWelcome.

Archive.org Collections

Corresponding archive.org collections for various forum sites can be found using the Wayback Machine.

YouChew Video Backups

For a period of time, YouChew had a feature where videos uploaded to its showroom would be backed up on its own servers. When the site went down, this ~300 gigabyte archive was shared with varying levels of availability. A few tennis staff are known to have local copies of it as well.

Tennis Ark

The "Tennis Ark" is an archival initiative started by infinitysnapz to preserve the videos of newer players, who haven't had the chance to become archived yet. The end goal is to eventually compile and track all the known individual archives of every known Tennis player - both active and inactive. The sheet can be seen here.

Other spreadsheets for tracking the state of archival include the YTP Archive Masterlist spreadsheet, as well as the Kneesocks' version of the YTPMV archive directory.

Forum Backups

The tennis community has had many forum sites they have called home over the years. Going through these forum archives is very useful when exploring tennis history or researching various topics.

YouChew

A good chunk of YouChew exists on archive.org. Local complete archives of the website exist, including a browsable version on YellowTealPurple. A previous iteration was hosted on ftlftw.net which was shut down in December 2025.

The second, short-lived revival of YouChew (aka "NewChew") was not completely archived. What remains of it is present on archive.org.

YTPMania

YTPMania still stands to this day in read-only form.

Pinchbacks

Both the short-lived forum and discord server for Pinchbacks were not archived. Most notably this means the loss of much of the forum activity for the Doubles Cup 4, however not much else was done there tennis-wise.

YellowTealPurple

YellowTealPurple is the current home for video tennis discussion. Archives are not needed at this time, but proactive webmasters very likely will have backups available if the site goes down.
