I am afraid to say that despite the efforts of the nominator in expanding this article, this GA review will have to be quick failed due to numerous failures to comply with the relevant criteria at Wikipedia:GA. In this case of this particular article, I noted several problems which stand in its way of achieving GA status at this time.

The primary issue is that the entry is under-referenced in both the prose and the career statistics tables, with several entire paragraphs and sentences lacking a single reference. Some of the prose in the article is messy, non-neutral, informal and inconsistent with a plethora of MOS guidelines, such as using the subject's first name, which is against MOS:SURNAME and using contractions in violation of MOS:CONTRACTION. Furthermore three of the references are incorrectly formatted and lack the author(s) (if any), the date it was published and the date it was accessed. There are also three instances of one-line paragraphs, something which is discouraged at both GAN and FAC. There is also no mention about the family of the subject, which school she was educated, and how she got into playing the sport of tennis.

I strongly suggest that these issues be resolved meticulously and review similar tennis player biographies that are at GA-level. Also, I would advise that the article be taken to WP:PR where it can go for a forensic review before it can be nominated at GAN for a second time. MWright96 (talk) 12:50, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
