Tennis Data

Data on which the statistics is based is from open source tennis data repository by Jeff Sackmann, with some corrections and additions where data is wrong or lacking. Even with these corrections and additions, there are still small errors and data missing. Most notably for many tournaments between 1968 and 1972, as well as full rankings between 1981 and 1983. Rankings before official ATP rankings started in 1973 season are estimated and as well still not complete.
In-Match statistics data (Aces, DFs, Serve %...) started to be recorded from 1991 onward, and thus this data is available on UTS also only for seasons 1991 onward.
Please provide feedback on data as well at mcekovic@gmail.com or GitHub.

Tournament Classification

Grand Slam Tour Finals Alt. Finals Masters Olympics ATP 500 ATP 250

• Masters tournament classification is per Wikipedia's Tennis Masters Series records and statistics. This is not completely fair, as this classification starts from 1970 (there are no Masters tournaments in 1968 and 1969), as well as classification from 1970 to 1978 is fuzzy and contradictory to the Wikipedia's Grand Prix Super Series.
• In addition to official Tour Finals tournaments, Dallas WCT Finals (1971-1989), Grand Slam Cup (1990-1999) and Tennis Champions Classic (1970, 1971) are considered alternative Tour Finals and are weighted a little less than official Tour Finals, the same as Masters tournaments.
• Separation of ATP 500/Championship Series vs ATP 250/World Series for seasons 1990 and onwards is as per ATP. For seasons before 1990, 11 tournaments per season with strongest participation based on player ranks are considered ATP 500 tournaments. For seasons 1968 and 1969, in order to compensate lack of Tour Finals and Masters tournaments, 25 strongest tournaments per season are considered ATP 500 tournaments. In addition, Pepsi Grand Slam (1976-1981), WCT Challenge Cup (1976-1980) and Seasonal WCT Finals (1972, 1982) are also considered as ATP 500.

'GOAT' Points Formula

A lot of content on this site is based on 'GOAT' Points formula, which is a formula to quantify tennis player achievements throughout their careers and to compare players from different eras. 'GOAT' Points formula is based on assigning 'GOAT' points to players for tournament results, ATP and Elo rankings and various important achievements.
