• Date and length fine. AGF on book source. I lean slightly towards the original. QPQ not needed as nominator only has 1 credit. No close paraphrasing. Picture licence fine though @Awsomaw: any reason why a picture of the rubber on a racquet is not being suggested here? Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 12:23, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

• @The C of E: Thanks, good question. I thought it might be more interesting to show a different rubber than the common inverted rubber. Do you think maybe a picture of the rubber on a paddle would be better? I can try to get one uploaded. Awsomaw (talk) 12:39, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

• @Awsomaw: It may well be if it's the same type of material. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 12:47, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

• @The C of E: Uploaded new image! Thanks. Awsomaw (talk) 13:03, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

• Much better! Licence is good for that, rest of review as above. Good work! The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 13:11, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
