Win Predictor

What is it?

Our win predictor considers data that experts don't easily have access to and so may not always align with expert intuition. That's ok though as the results over time speak for themselves and it provides an objective, data-driven view of what fans might come to expect in or before a match. Regarding the win predictor swing (in- match), this number will separate from the pre-match prediction increasingly as the match progresses, informed by the ease (or otherwise) the two players are displaying on their respective service games.

Why we like it?

Provides an opportunity to point to how remarkable some of these special performances truly are by way of the fluctuations that can occur within matches.

When we use it?

Provides a powerful tool to call on the numbers behind the contest when the match is on a knife edge as well as when a substantial shift has occurred (either within the match itself and/or a big departure from the pre-match prediction). This then allows the on- air talent to elaborate on what it is that has led to such a circumstance.
