Frequently Asked Questions

How are TennisRatings calculated?

TennisRatings are generated using a data-driven statistical model that analyses historical match data, player performance metrics, and contextual factors. Core inputs include service hold and break percentages, surface-specific performance, opponent strength, recent form, and match conditions. These factors are blended into an adjusted rating that reflects a player’s true underlying level rather than headline results alone. While the full methodology remains proprietary, TennisRatings focuses on transparency around what is measured and why those variables matter in tennis betting markets.

No. TennisRatings do not guarantee profit, and no model can eliminate risk entirely. Ratings are designed to identify value opportunities, not certainty. Variance, injuries, motivation, and randomness are inherent in sport. TennisRatings aims to improve decision quality over time, not provide short-term guarantees.

TennisRatings provides model outputs, not betting tips. The platform highlights matches where statistical indicators suggest potential value versus market odds. All betting decisions remain the responsibility of the user.

Value betting occurs when the probability implied by bookmaker odds is lower than the bettor’s estimated true probability. TennisRatings helps users identify these mismatches by comparing model probabilities with market prices.
In-play modelling adjusts probabilities in real time using live scoring, momentum shifts, break-point pressure, and volatility metrics. The model tracks deviations from pre-match expectations to highlight potential entry or exit points during a match.

Bookmaker odds reflect market behaviour, margin, and public bias, not just pure probability. TennisRatings focuses on underlying performance data, which can uncover mispricing especially in less efficient markets or during live play.
