Updated tennis predictions as of the 31/08/2020 (xlsx).
An Interactive Java Tennis Calculator (jar).
Many thanks to Paul Graham for programming this calculator. Paul is currently a forecast systems programmer for the Bureau of Meteorology and founder of WeatherTheatre (html).
Relive the famous Roddick vs El Aynaoui match played at the 2003 Australian Open that finished 21-19 in the final set (xls). Many thanks to Alan Brown for programming this calculator. Alan was an Adjunct Professor with Swinburne University and co-supervised "The Baron's" PhD thesis in tennis modelling.
Alan Brown built a simple macro in Excel to calculate the exact progression in a grand slam tournament based on head-to-head predictions (xls). In this version the head-to-head predictions are randomized. However you could obtain these predictions from:
1) Tennis calcualtor (xlsx)
2) OnCourt software (html)
3) Prediction modelling in 'The Mathematics of Tennis' (pdf)
4) Simple conversion of bookmaker prices to probabilities
5) Conversion of ratings to probabilities
