Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “1987 Tel Aviv Open – Singles” as 1987 tennis event results. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA strong contextual entry point for chronology, institutions and public events when official records are distinguished from later interpretation. The current 19-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Aviv, Singles and tennis can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as 1987 tennis event results. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 26, 2022. The linked authority identifier is Q4583941. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
