The [[Grey Tennis Tournament 2]] is a currently ongoing Video [[tennis]] tournament that commenced on May 15, 2026, co-hosted between {{TheChutley}}, who helmed the original [[Grey Tennis Tournament]], and {{Letycjusz S.}} and {{CRJ1}}. It is the 22nd tournament overall, the second tournament of the [[YellowTealPurple]] era, the sixth to technically be in a "Tennis Cup" format, and a revival of the original event which took place between late 2009 and early 2010. Distinctive of this event among other modern day tournaments was the decision made to keep it strictly like the original, down to the original old-school source limitations that were once common in organized tennis events. The voting account for this tournament is "King #DEDEDE", the familiar recurring antagonist of the ''Kirby'' series in a washed out monochromatic color scheme to match the hexadecimal hue within his designated name.

Signups were designed differently for this event to allow for more participants not on the YellowTealPurple forums to be able to sign up without necessarily needing an account on the site, and an initial threshold of 12 of the 32 participants were expressly reserved for either new players, or players who had not participated in the previous tennis tournament from the jump. This is the first tennis tournament to feature the participation of Ninja Weedle, deepfryer, PureQuicksilver, NiccoGabri, cashlost2, spperson_, Ro502, AMAZINGBORYS11, Antonio Blue, AdamCrazyDude, DwakeAwaken, and Doubleitch. cheedle returned after having previously participated in the [[Tennis League 4]], and {{trepmaws}} returned after having previously participated in the [[Doubles Cup 3]], having previously missed his chance to join the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament 2]].

Like the original Grey Tennis Tournament, it was designed very similarly to the first [[Tennis Cup]]. This included the choice made to retain the old-school source limits of early tennis event standards, with each round made within each match not being allowed to use or add more than three sources, as an added challenge for a generation of tennisers who had up to this point become conditioned in the 16 years that followed the original event with limitless source usage in their rounds. With source usage having become a lot more flexible in terms of the types of media that could be used in tennis responses. {{dani_phantump}} drafted up a post in YellowTealPurple's "Video Tennis Rules" thread that specifically stipulated what counted as one source used and what didn't. Also like previous tournaments with source limits, Music and audio-only sources remained free reign, not counting as one source.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/video-tennis-rules.4/latest</ref>
