The tournament captured the tennis community in a complete system reset, with nearly all the old community having since scattered or retired from tennis. Initially, when tennis operations had fully relocated to YTPMania following [[YouChew]]'s closure, a new tournament was teased by the [[tennis staff]] of the time but nothing ever came to fruition, and after a year's time many members would post statements of retirement instead, including {{Biodegradable}}, {{CorruptionSound}}, {{MycroProcessor}} and {{Metroid998}}. The Tennis League 5 was thusly the first conjured by a completely new generation of players, with {{VidTens443}} stating in the introductory post for the event that "many years had passed" since a tournament took place (in fact, only two years had passed since the beginning of the [[Doubles Cup 3]].)

Sentiment of the tournament was generally negative. While initial hype was very high as it had been some time since the previous tournament (the [[Doubles Cup 3]] had ended just over a year before and the League format had not been attempted since 2014), criticism began to emerge as the tournament continued to go on, something that had plagued the previous two tournaments as well. Replacements became abundant to the point where later sets had to be modified to account for the reduced amount of players. Staff at the time had agreed to never try the tournament again, however in recent years thoughts about returning the format with significant changes has been proposed. The [[Bronze Tennis League]] came directly at the result of host {{ivan}}'s discontent with the tournament, played in a smaller scale to successful completion.
