Editorial policy

Grand Tennis Journal aims to make tennis easier to understand through clear explanations and careful distinctions. We separate established rules from playing habits, opinion and context, and we correct the record when a published detail is wrong.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual claims against appropriate reference material before publication and write so readers can tell what is a rule, what is a common approach and what is a matter of preference. If a format or governing ruleset changes the answer, the article should name that limit. We avoid presenting a personal tactic as a guaranteed result.

Independence and corrections

Editorial decisions are made for readers, not as a condition of a commercial relationship. If a reader spots an error, they can contact us with the article title and the detail in question. We review specific, substantiated correction requests and update material where warranted, making significant corrections clear to readers.

Partner material and illustrations

Paid or partner-supported material is identified clearly where it appears, so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial coverage. A partnership does not buy a favourable editorial conclusion. Some illustrations may be generated with AI; when used, they are illustrative rather than evidence of an actual match, player or event.
