OpenStreetMap
It looks like the Spaniard is coming second in the Wimbledon tennis tournament of OpenStreetMap too. I've added a rankings display to tennis edit tracker
>>> Tennis edit rankings <<<
Jaume Figueras mapped loads of tennis courts today near Barcelona, but rjhale1971 served an ace, and it looks like he'll go on to win the tournament. Can anybody stop him?
I suppose we'll find out at the end of the week (Wed 6th) who the tennis court mapping champion is. See the Project of the week page for tips on how to find and add tennis courts.

I see that the tagging schema is leisure=pitch + sport=tennis. But how can we distinguish grass courts and clay courts like in Roland-Garros, Paris ? Is leisure=patich still appropriate ?

By the way, in the illustration in this post, is that one or two tennis courts ? I map that as two adjacent courts, but is one single court acceptable too ?

@pieren : leisure=pitch, sport=tennis, surface=whatever
Clay, hard and grass are the main surface types cited at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis#Surface

Yes it should always be leisure=pitch & sport=tennis. In fact "pitch" is the wrong word for tennis anyway, but it works out well to use the leisure=pitch tag, since this is then shared across many sports. Quite elegant I think. The tennis edit tracker is only looking for the sport=tennis tag, but if you find a tennis court that is missing the leisure=pitch tag, you should add it, and in fact it will pick up on that, since you're modifying an object which has the sport=tennis tag. ...although maybe I should only rank by 'create' operations.
I haven't really thought about grass, clay etc while mapping myself. Not sure how reliably we can tell that from aerial imagery. The good old Key:surface would probably be the best choice, in fact I've just added that on the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sport=tennis page (see talk page)

The one or two tennis courts question is also discussed here
