Jeff presented an article on palindromic names in the August 1996 Word Ways. A few were tennis players. Here we add to them a few more, and a very large list of palindromes incorporating tennis names, first or surname. We attempted all past #1s, slam winners, and May 2020 top 100s, often failing. There are four parts, alphabetical by surname within each part: 1. palindromic names; 2. reversals; 3. near reversals; 4. longer. For each player named we give country, active period and highest rank #; d if in doubles; wins in slams—Australian Open (A), Roland Garros (F), Wimbledon (W), US Open (U)—and year-end tour championships (T), Olympic gold (O), Fed Cups (FC), Davis Cups (DC) and Hopman Cups (HC). 1.
