Editorial policy

Western Tennis Journal aims to make tennis easier to understand and more rewarding to notice. We value accurate wording, fair context and a clear distinction between editorial work and paid material.

Accuracy and corrections

We check factual statements against suitable sources before publication and take care with explanations of rules, history and terminology. If a reader spots a material error, they can send the passage and a clear explanation through the Contact page. We review correction requests and amend published material when warranted, making significant changes clear to readers.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions belong to the publication and are not for sale. Paid collaborations and partner placements are identified clearly so readers can distinguish them from editorial coverage. A commercial relationship does not guarantee a favourable mention or determine our conclusions.

Illustrations and transparency

Some illustrations may be generated with AI. Where relevant, captions or accompanying context identify illustrative material; images are not offered as documentary evidence of a particular match, person or place.
