The Best Sources for Tennis Stats and Match Insights

Six sources for tennis stats

Updated on February 24, 2024

If you have ever looked for sources for tennis stats, you would know that they are limited and disparate. You would have to browse multiple sites to get a consolidated view of stats from the men’s and women’s tours.

Most tennis enthusiasts look for high-level tennis statistics such as rankings and the number of tournaments won by players. However, if you are a die-hard tennis fan, you may want more.

Some sites provide basic stats, while others slice and dice the numbers to generate curated insights.

So here are six sources for tennis stats that you should check out.

ATP Tour Stats

The statistics tab within the ATP Tour website is the obvious go-to source for anything related to men’s professional tennis. The ATP manages the ATP Masters 1000, ATP 500, ATP 250, and the second and third-tier tournaments of the circuit. ITF manages the Grand Slams, Davis Cup, and the Futures tournaments. However, the ATP includes points from the ITF tournaments in their player rankings.

The ATP-Infosys technology partnership has significantly changed how tennis stats are curated and presented to tennis fans. The machine-learning-driven real-time data and insights generated through Infosys apps have — in their words — helped reinvent the tennis experience.

WTA Stats Hub

The WTA Stats Hub provides stats from the professional tennis tour for women. Unlike the Professional Squash Association (PSA), ATP and WTA do not offer a combined view of their stats.

WTA has partnered with German technology giant SAP to provide analysis and insights to its players, coaches, and fans. Features such as patterns of play and WTA University are development initiatives that have come out of the partnership.

Tennis Abstract

Tennis Abstract is the brainchild of Jeff Sackmann, an author and software developer based in the United States. It’s the only site that I know of that provides an in-depth analysis of the ATP and WTA. The site offers a vast array of data points to filter out statistics specific to your area of interest. Tennis Abstract is for you if you like to understand the complex assumptions and calculations behind tennis stats, Elo ratings of players, predictions of tournament outcomes, and other such information.

Heavy Topspin, the blog section of Tennis Abstract, provides analytics-based opinions and thoughts on the goings-on in tennis.

Ultimate Tennis Stats

Note (March 09, 2024): Ultimate Tennis Stats’s website has been unresponsive over the past few days. It is up now, but the stats may not be current.

You could say that the Ultimate Tennis Stats site is the ultimate source for curated tennis statistics for hardcore tennis fans. As far as I can tell, the site was created and is maintained by a Software Architect based in Belgrade, Serbia, who appears to do it for the love of the game. Unfortunately, the site only provides analytics and insights into men’s tennis. The methodology used in curating the data and the types of curated stats available are shown on the site’s “About” page.

As per the site owner, “Data is updated every Monday morning with new rankings and newly completed tournaments, followed by re-computation of aggregated data and records. In-progress tournament forecasts are updated every 15 minutes.

The data behind Ultimate Tennis Stats comes from an open-source data repository maintained by Jeff Sackmann.

Lists of tennis records and statistics on Wikipedia

When you think of tennis stats, Wikipedia may not be the first site that comes to mind. However, if you are looking for some quick stats on tennis, this Wikipedia site may be all you need. Check it out. Using a reader such as Wikiwand makes it easier to maneuver through the data on the site.

The Sports Hub Tennis

TSH Tennis page on Facebook promotes itself as “Everything tennis.” If you are looking for graphical representations of interesting tennis stats, you may find them here. In the true sense, TSH Tennis cannot be classified as a statistical resource; however, the site’s stories and snapshots would appeal to most tennis fans looking for random tennis facts and trivia.

As you can imagine, you would need a Facebook profile to view this page.

There you have it.

Let me know if other sources for tennis stats merit inclusion in this list.
