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. This led to a very warped view of tennis that focused much more on competitive behavior than before, as there simply weren't enough people around to show how it had been otherwise. 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.

As the TC5 concluded, a wave of old tennis regulars including NESfanboi, {{TheChutley}}, {{dani_phantump}}, {{trepmaws}}, and {{theFXexpert}} returned to the community, inspiring the additional return to video craft by players such as {{Metroid998}}, {{GameBop}}, fiv95, Sid, and even {{AshcrementVII}} from the fringes. This would set the stage for the events and the era of tennis that was to follow. | |||
