The Tennis Isles
.
The Tennis Isles is a Discord server formed in 2019 by that serves as a primary home for the YTP Tennis community. It coexists separately alongside the current forum site (currently, YellowTealPurple) for more informal conversation and voice chats, as well as serving a central role in tennis for under-18 players after the forum's 18+ shift. It is managed by some of the former and current Tennis Staff members; as of October 2025 infinitysnapz is the server owner.
The original logo was designed by java, while the current redesign was created by infinitysnapz.
History
 | This article is a stub! It is missing critical information, likely just standing ground until it is completed later. Come back soon! |
The Tennis Isles was first created in September 13, 2019 by nm41, VidTens443, and java in hopes of easier communication among the tennis community and to organize tennis events, in which the server was created days before the start of Tennis League 5.
In September 2023, a verification system was put into place to vet out bots and other potentially unwanted accounts. Users are asked to prove their existence (or the player they claim to be), usually by sharing their YouTube account.
Emoji
TTI has many custom emojis, many of which relate to various matches and in-jokes within the community. Many emoji also relate to non-tennis references to particular members, in particular nm41 who ran the server for quite a while.
Here's an explanation of each of the current ones (that relate to tennis):
