Quadruples tennis is the final boss of team tennis - four players collaborating on a single video.
Quadruples tennis expands upon triples by having two teams of four players collaborate on videos. Mentions of the format come as early as 2019 <ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/what-tennis-tournaments-would-youd-like-to-see-happen/5242/12</ref> however the format was not attempted until [[Quadruples Match (2022)|2022.]]


A tournament has yet to be hosted of this type, however it is unlikely it will happen due to it being a logistical nightmare.
As of 2026, no tournaments have been attempted in this format, other than the unofficial [[Gachapon League]].
