It was the eighth tennis tournament overall, and the third of three to occur in the whirlwind tennis year of 2009. The voting account used for this event was "Tails", named after the ''Sonic The Hedgehog'' character for which vvaluigi was long known to have an affinity for.

The tournament was a rare occurrence in which almost all the participants were seasoned players with at least one previous tournament under their belt. It was the first tennis competition to feature only one recurring new player in magmalord, and the only tennis competition to feature MrMosto, _Cristoph3r_/CrisArriran10, RIce3, LordOfBLTs and ferretfreak111. It would also be the last tennis competition to feature {{Quax}}, TangerineImpz/Imperade, McMANGOS, Crazythesecond, LieutenantMiles, SushieBoy and AjaxCubed.
