Accented Characters in Player Names
🗓️ Release Date 07/31/2026
We've added support for accented characters (diacritical marks) in all tennis player names across our Tennis API.
Player names are now returned with full Unicode (UTF-8) encoding, so characters like å, é, ñ, and ü appear correctly wherever a name is used. For example, Lehecka, Jiri is now returned as Lehečka, Jiří in every instance his name appears. See the samples below.
Access this feature by setting the language_code parameter to en_us. The standard en code continues to return names in plain ASCII (e.g., Lehecka, Jiri). All other fields are returned in English — player names are the only values affected by this code.
⭐ Benefit
Use these updated names to show players' names correctly wherever they appear in your application.
📋 Recommended Actions
- Request player names with diacritical marks by setting the
language_codeparameter toen_us. The defaultenreturns names in plain ASCII. - Verify your application, database, and any downstream systems handle UTF-8 encoding so accented characters render correctly rather than as garbled text.
- Review any exact-string matching or search logic on player names, since names that were previously plain ASCII may now include diacritical marks.
- Update cached or stored player names to pick up the corrected spellings.
