Using R to study tennis players

In the previous post about tennis, we studied how changes in ball’s composition in hard and grass courts affected the game back in 2000. In this post, we will analyse a different dataset from the same repository and look at the players winning records in ATP matches. The data I’m again using the great repository of tennis data of Jeff Sackmann. In this case, however, I’m using the ATP repository that contains ATP match data since 1968 until today. Again, I thank Jeff Sackmann for making this dataset publicly available.
