More data!
Today I’ve made available my entire ATP and WTA ranking databases through the end of the 2014 season. In addition, you’ll find my complete player tables, which include birthdate, country, and handedness for every player who has ever been ranked or played a tour-level match. (Plus thousands more players, who are included in the database for other reasons.)
This is all the data you need to research all sorts of topics, like the rise and fall of certain countries in the rankings and the changing age of top 10s, 50s, and 100s.
This is the third major dataset I’ve published this week, and more is on the way.
ATP rankings are here, and WTA rankings are here. Enjoy!
this is soooo good! thanks!
one question: will you update the rankings continuously? this would be great. too often there’s the case that data gets one-time published, but then runs out of date and is not taken care of anymore.
of course, it’s really really useful to have all these historic rankings. however, we know how quick new data (results, rankings, etc.) stream in, which is the motivation to run new analysis. then, it would be great to have up-to-date data 🙂
It probably won’t be continuous (as in, every week), but I’ll try to update it every month or two.
that’s already more than we (as a community) can ask for. thanks for your huge efforst
