[[The Great Restoration]] is an ongoing tennis archival and recovery project spearheaded by {{dani_phantump}}, {{VidTens443}} and RaymanChrome that began in March 2026. Through the use of an outside, anonymous extractor with access to the servers of [[YouTube]], it was discovered at the end of the month previous to the project commencing that it was possible to recover the videos of any account that had been terminated by a third party any time ~~up to the year 2023~~. Previously, this method had been used by the Recycle Bin collective to locate and extract lost videos by MeiAIDS, at which point {{dani_phantump}} crafted a list of names essential in the world of tennis that could also benefit from such retrieval. The first tennis videos to be fetched in this way were the long-lost uploads of PapaGonzales; this allowed the beginning of the restoration of much missing data from the [[Tennis League 1]], including the first ever compilation of a full match from that event, Misselaioneous10 vs. PapaGonzales(2007).

Videos are requested and fetched at a gradual rate of only a few a day in order to prevent the risk of a potential IP ban from too much activity. Recovery is additionally only possible if existing links exist for those works that were under terminated accounts, making the [[YouChew]] archives and the Wayback Machine indispensable resources for locating the desired material.
