- Wimbledon 2026: 3rd Round Performance Anomalies, Round of 16 Lineup to Quarterfinal Predictive AnalyticsWell, that was a little topsy-turvy! In most instances, players did progress as anticipated, while those who did not were either cautioned as a “maybe” (indicative of a ‘?’) and/or the pattern of the earlier round wasn’t carried forward (see the highlights). Alternatively, as was the case for select players on the ATP Tour, the upsets I had called did not prevail — i.e., Cobolli and Bubliklooked as though they could be upset due to Khachanov’s and Tiafoe’s recent form, respectively. On the WTA Tour, however, all upsets were hinted toward and/or the prior rounds’ patterns continued… Read more: Wimbledon 2026: 3rd Round Performance Anomalies, Round of 16 Lineup to Quarterfinal Predictive Analytics
- 2026 Wimbledon: First, Second Round Wimbledon Results Plus Third Round Analytics to Who’s in the Round of 16All 1st and 2nd Round results are in with the corresponding predictive analytics so let’s dive in! WTA Tour Analysis The 1st Round Review Starting with the WTA Tour the biggest upsets that were not anticipated in the 1st Round include: Svitolina, Chwalinska (up 5-2 in the second and was unable to close it out), Raducanu (late withdrawal) whilst S. Williams could be called an upset, however, per rankings it was Joint from the beginning. Of course when the analytics come to shape there’s a slight level of bias there from who I may like to win and typically this is disclosed and/or… Read more: 2026 Wimbledon: First, Second Round Wimbledon Results Plus Third Round Analytics to Who’s in the Round of 16
- 2026 Grass Court Season, 3 Weeks of Mayhem & Wimbledon 1st Round Analytics
Three weeks since the 2026 French Open Championships came to a close, and after six events each across both Tours between then and now, the 2026 Wimbledon Championships are officially here. What’s important to note is that due to a lack of data — merely three events per Tour with not all Top 10 players competing, or those that did not garnering enough momentum to really highlight their form — a number of anomalies are to be expected this coming fortnight. That said, there is actually more consistency across the WTA Tour over the ATP Tour in respect to depth… Read more: 2026 Grass Court Season, 3 Weeks of Mayhem & Wimbledon 1st Round Analytics - 2026 French Open Champions and BeyondNow this is where it gets exciting! What I love about the data is how enthralling it really can be. Let’s start with the good news. Not only was there a 100% rate of accuracy despite the absolute shock from the 1st Round through to the semifinals, both Andreeva and Zverev prevailed as maiden Grand Slam Champions. As for the semifinals, that was a 25% and 50% churn respectively which ironically follows similar patterns of how the data really didn’t fare well this Roland Garros. It’s essential to put into… Read more: 2026 French Open Champions and Beyond
- From the Archives: Player Behaviour and Your ResponsibilityFirst published June, 2023 This week we’re looking at the role of player behaviour and how it is formed which is such an important topic that is often overlooked. I cannot tell you how many coaches I have come across over the years who want to be the “cool” coach and befriend their players. It is such a common practice and the ethics around that are just unfathomable but it happens left, right and centre and neither player or parent are made aware of the susceptibility that is so incredibly… Read more: From the Archives: Player Behaviour and Your Responsibility
- 2026 French Open Days 8, 9, Quarterfinalists to Semifinals and Who’s set to Win their Maiden French Open?Well that didn’t go as planned. It’s official – new territory is being made and the predictive analytics can explain why these tumbles have been quite widespread. At the same rate these players should be progressing if their form was in alignment with the rankings. Which begs the question and hits with a lighting strike – why the rankings have skewed from recent player performances. The biggest Round of 16 upset has to be four time defending Champion Swiatek defeated by Kostyuk who is in fact on a new carrier… Read more: 2026 French Open Days 8, 9, Quarterfinalists to Semifinals and Who’s set to Win their Maiden French Open?
- From the Archives: Depression and Anxiety in Sport: Invisibility and How Coaches Can HelpFirst published June, 2023 Mental health is no joke. It has become more and more frequent over the past few years as one of the most pressing topics to be discussed and no longer ignored and pushed to the side. With some of the world’s biggest names shedding light on their own personal mental health and what it means, it’s such an important topic to be shared with players and athletes, irrespective of their level of play, and for tools to be given on how best to deal with these… Read more: From the Archives: Depression and Anxiety in Sport: Invisibility and How Coaches Can Help
- 2026 French Open Day 5, 6 & 7 Updated Analytics, Explanations and Top 10 InsightsCircus is perhaps one of a few select words that come to mind over the course of the last three days. That’s not even taking into account what has happened in the earlier Rounds. With all 2nd Round and 3rd Round matches now complete, the Round of 16 is set and the metrics shared pre–Day 5 are a far cry from what should be unfolding if the Top 10 players in the world — along with the Top 20 in all fairness, did in fact correlate with their ranking. Which… Read more: 2026 French Open Day 5, 6 & 7 Updated Analytics, Explanations and Top 10 Insights
