Does anyone know of a tennis matches dataset that’s event-based? I mean a dataset listing every event in a tennis match with timestamps, categories, etc.
For instance, I wanted to answer some questions which I think are only answerable with such a dataset, such as:
In the last set of the game, how often does the person who starts win? Does it matter to start a set? What about a tiebreak? How often do reversals happen? On best 3s? On best of 5s? How beneficial is it to have contested games vs cleanly won games? Does that percentage change when you get to the top when compared to lower ranked players? Can game duration predict winners? Out of those players who got injured during a game, how many end up winning? Out of those, how many manage to keep on winning?
I think having something like this would be so valuable for bettors…
I suspect the ATP does have a dataset like this, but I think they do not intend on sharing it.
