The end of Youchew brought quite a disturbance to the tennis scene, with many people calling it quits with the site. As a result, new staff were chosen well after the previous iteration had de-facto retired, and much of the mentors from the previous era simply were not there.

Tournaments became very grandiose and long-going, with turnovers becoming much larger as rounds became much more technical. | The end of Youchew brought quite a disturbance to the tennis scene, with many people calling it quits with the site.

This would set the stage for the events and the era of tennis that was to follow. | ||
