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 close-to-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. | The [[Grey Tennis Tournament 2]] (or '''GTT2''') 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}}.

Due to a miscommunication, the lineup for set 1 was created and released immediately after signups had completed, instead of being released when Set 1 officially began at 12PM PST on May 22nd, 2026. As a result, serving players had an extra week to create their serves, with some players (such as {{Yottiferent}} and TehShadzify) finishing well before the set even started. | |||
