There is a long, ongoing discussion at WP:Tennis about the tournament tables found in tennis articles on English-language Wikipedia (e.g., this type of table). The discussion is about whether the "official sponsored name" of a tournament - such as Pacific Life Open - or another tournament name without the sponsor - such as Indian Wells Masters - must be used in those articles. Please join the discussion here. Thanks. Tennis expert (talk) 08:41, 4 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

As I look at the current tournaments at Auckland (ATP Auckland Open & WTA Auckland Open) I see a very important error that has crept in. Neither of them are historically the New Zealand Open/New Zealand Championships. That is a completely different event that has no article here. We have the New Zealand Open (at times the BP National Championships) which was won by Evonne Goolagong in 1971 and 1973, and Bill Tilden in 1920. This event was held in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington on a rotating basis. Then we have the Auckland Open (sometime the Benson and Hedges Open) which was always played in Auckland from 1956 to the present for the men. The ladies played with the men in the 70s and early 80s, and then from 1986 to the present. It looks like all these events are running together. We need some clarification on these events and I'm trying to get a handle on their exact timelines. Fyunck(click) (talk) 10:33, 17 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Hello from my understanding having looked at this I have found the following sources for winners of the NZ championships upto 1966 see : here for a more recent list from Tennis New Zealand rolls of honor for the NZ Championships and National Championships plus other NZ tournaments found here the latter does not list any history of Auckland Open further than 1968 listed as Heineken Open. The Auckland Open's history goes back further 1956 I have newspaper sources confirming this as the Auckland Championships though it was not always held in a premenant location until 1956. Hope this helps--Navops47 (talk) 12:27, 4 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
