Every week, Tennis Analytics dives deep into the data, bringing you a stat of the week to help you understand tennis better and become a little smarter.

 

Frenchman Enzo Couacad is a famous guy this week.  He is the only player to take a set off Novak Djokovic at the 2023 Australian Open (in a close tiebreaker).  He then lost 12 of the next 14 games and headed to the airport.

After that, Djokovic never lost another set.  He embarrassed the field to reclaim the #1 ATP  ranking and more importantly, equal Rafa’s record of 22 Grand Slams won. And there are still 3 more Slams in 2023.

Novak played a total of 201 games over 7 matches at the 2023 AO.  He won 68% of these (136). Total prize money was a cool $1,998,278, which means that he earned $14,693.22 for each game won.

Everything on court boils down to winners and errors.  Novak hit 4% more winners than his opponents and made 12% fewer errors, for a total differential of 16%.

 

We have launched our new Player Match Reports that enable coaches, players and parents to get in-depth performance stats for a player and their opponent.  Stats are linked directly to actual match events. For example, click on Net Appearances Won, and view just those points.

This is a great way to identify tendencies (both good and bad) in a player’s game, and then use this information to plan the practice court.
