Hello everyone, and welcome to the Tennis RPF Rarepair Prompt Fest (the Tennis RRPPF, if you will). Thank you all so much for your interest! This is a fandom event that will run from June 18th to August 2nd, focused on creating more content for the rarer ships in the Tennis RPF fandom, together!
Based on the numbers on AO3 and the general vibe of the tennis RPF community on tumblr, we are going for a very broad definition of "rarepair" of anything other than Sincaraz, with the goal of generating fanworks for a wide range of other pairings.

Schedule
If you don't have time now, basic info from the FAQ is copied below under the Read More. Thanks everyone - more posts to come as we get closer to the prompt window opening, and if you have a question, please don't hesitate to ask!
How does this whole thing work?
You will submit tennis rarepair RPF prompts via a google form (link coming soon).
Prompts are organized by the mod and released.
You will create fanworks (fic/video edits/graphics/art/etc) based on the prompt(s) that inspire you and post them.
We will all have a bunch of new rarepair content to check out! Fills will be reblogged and compiled on this blog.
The format of the event is heavily inspired by @advantage-tennisblr, a prompt meme that ran a year and a half ago.
What counts as a “rarepair?”
For the purposes of this event, a rarepair is anything that is not Sincaraz (the relationship between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz). Since the start of 2024, there have been over ten times as many works on AO3 tagged with their relationship as the next most popular pairing. While the definition of a rarepair will always be up for debate, especially in a long-running fandom where the most popular players change over time, given that in the past two and a half years, this ship is over an order of magnitude more popular than anything else, this is where the line for the event is being drawn…at least this time around! See here for numbers and more explanation if you’re curious. That being said, you are encouraged to go as rare and as niche as possible!

Valencia sociolinguistics anon here, (no rush on the previous ask, I just appreciate being called something that esoteric lol) I just felt the need to share that Àlex Corretja called Ferru “amor mío” on the broadcast today.
1. actually thank you so much for the reminder bc rl got hectic and i completely forgot about that gem of an ask which i very much want to talk about with you 2. SCREAMMMMMMMM
did you watch the fonseca jodar match?? during the 3rd set jodar kept cramping and was crashing out and screaming at the spanish federation doctor and ferrer was sitting beside him and the cameras kept pointing at him like 😏😏😏😏. i know hes thinking about that final 4 in november
i couldn't watch it live but that specific moment was livestreamed to me in chat hahahahahahaha. honestly it's probably not grrreat that we all (including myself) have jumped straight to selecting the dc finals squad bc once again that is a set-up for disappointment. thinking rationally i'm going to set my sights on next year, although of course i won't COMPLAIN if the timeline moves faster......
i dont think jodar should hire ferrero but he needs a tactical coach in that box soon. maybe a physio as well
i assume fleshing out the team will come soon... it's been, what, 4 months since he went pro? makes sense that he & his father would want to test the waters (and possibly sock away some prize money lol) before making major decisions, signing employment contracts, etc. tbh i'd prioritize the physio, if you want to make it through a full atp season these days that's got to be the most important thing. although if you're young and have no significant injury history perhaps your body still has that extra measure of forgiveness. that you should keep as long as possible. 😬

been a hot minute since milan but still struggling to wrap my head around the fact that there's a professional athlete named mac forehand but he's not a tennis player. someone got that one wrong!
