Here is an interesting page from Universal Tennis Insights. They give the percentage chances for each player to reach various rounds. They claim to have figured this out using simulations. Their percentages are much different from the bookies. For examples, these guys think Tits has the second best chance to clinch the trophy. Also, these guys are giving Fed only 1% chance to win and only 30% chance to get to the second week.

They're using UTR which only counts results in the last year, so I think that is why it is so negative on Federer.

While it does use UTR, I think they are using current UTR.

I just meant that only the results in the last year count for UTR. Federer has only played 8 matches in that time in which he didn't play that well so it thinks he isn't that good. It doesn't for any of his success prior to this season.

You may be right. They say it is based on 30 matches played in the last year. Not sure whether they have any tweaking of that to accommodate the pandemic situation.

I did mine in the nick of time and the internet here is a complete garbage. Had to try couple of times just to save all my picks, but managed somehow. The things we do just for the draw challenge.

Young Jack Draper to save the World!

 

[Moxie]

First set to Draper! The kid saved like 1000 break points across the set. Oh, and Djokovic slipped about 8 times.

Just tuning in,Draper can always say he took a set off the world no 1......Novak has great hair btw

 

[Moxie]

Novak has great hair btw

...if you're into hedgehogs.

 

[Moxie]

OK, @Fiero425, who always complains about Nadal cheering his opponents errors...the kid just totally whiffed the ball on break point, and Novak screamed and pumped his fist like he'd won the set. So you can just put that crap away. They all do it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

...if you're into hedgehogs.

Try to be nice to the world No 1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am going now to watch The Young Greek and Saint Frances and split screens,I want to watch The Young Greek on grass

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Have to say impressed by the serving of Novak,he has hardly lost a point on serve
