New “Event Records” View at TennisAbstract.com

TennisAbstract.com now offers another way to look at stats for every player on the ATP tour.

The new “Event Records” view shows–you guessed it–records by event, summarizing a player’s performance at a given tournament, including his career record, career tiebreak record, years played, best result, and the usual complement of aggregate statistics such as return points won and break points saved.

To access a player’s event records, click here, in the upper left corner, right next to the link to the head-to-head view I introduced recently:

Then you’ll see something like this:

The events names are links, so you can click on any of those to see the full list of matches the player contested at that tournament.

Three columns in the middle of the table–“First” (the player’s first year at the event), “Last,” and “Best” (his best result at the tournament)–are loaded with additional information. Mouseover the data in those columns to see a description of the player’s last match (for “First” and “Last”) and the years in which he achieved his best result:

If you’re interested in particular subsets of matches, most of the filters in the left-hand column function as they normally do. For instance, let’s say you’re interested in Stan Wawrinka’s performance at various events as a top-ten player:

You can also use the filters to reduce the number of tournaments on view. Use the “Level” filter to show only Grand Slams or Masters. Use the “Surface” filter to show only events on a particular surface. I also added a “Minimum Years” filter so that you could limit the list to tournaments that the player entered a certain number of times.

In the context of event records, some of the filters are more useful than others (would anyone ever have a use for tournament-by-tournament records in matches with bagel sets?), but at the very least, there are a ton of tools here to play around with.

Enjoy!
