What a loss Eleanor's endless unfortunate situation is to us

Total matches in which an unranked Brit defeagted a ranked player: 35 (9 of which occured in all GB ties)


Leading number of different countries visited:
19 Naomi Broady
14 Tara Moore
14 Heather Watson
12 Johanna Konta
12 Emily Webley-Smith

After a bit of cursory nosing around, I think it somewhat probable that this is the first time ever that Emily has played a full season and would not have been the winner of this title.

52 Players only played in one country, and for 31 of those 52 players, that one country was GBR, next highest was 6 players who played their only event in the USA.

Yeah... it's not very clear is it
I've missed out crucial information in the description
When GB wins set 1, and the match goes to a third set, they lose the match in the decider 54.7% of the time!
When GB Opponent wins set 1, and it goes to a third set, GB lose the match in the decider 58.4% of the time.

Or, conversely, GB win in a deciding set having been a set down 41.6% of the times that they manage to force the decider.
When our opponents manage to force the decider from a set down against us, they go on to win the match 45.3% of the time.

Hopefully that additional context makes more sense, sorry

Thanks blob, all clear

Very interesting that GB players win 3 set matches more often having won the first set and then lost the second than vice versa. It's not the way round that I would have imagined just by momentum and / or a player sussing out an opponent's game. I would have intuitively expected better end results from these that had won the second set.

As to the generality of GB players losing significantly more 3 set matches than they win I'm far from totally sure what to make of it. An initial thought might be of too often buckling in the crunch decider set. But it could be that very often the opponent is basically the better player and that the British women often give a game fight against the odds until the basically superior player knuckles down to win it in set 3. I guess impossible to make more definite general conclusions without say breaking down further into stats when the GB player was the favourite ( or clearly for practical purposes just the better ranked ) against when the underdog.

Not trying to give you yet more to do !

So, the latest Windows/Office updates remove access to some of the functions used. notably MAXIFS, MINIFS, AVERAGEIFS.
You now have to pay extra to get them to work in the base version of Excel (the one I use). You have to move to the £79.99 yearly plan as opposed to my stand alone, purchased, one-time payment product.
Or, having purchased the full complete product on a one time, all-time, all in, basis, I now have to move to the additional recurring annual plan in order to preserve the functionallity I have already paid for.

So none of my workbooks will now calculate correctly.
The workarounds take weeks to implement given how frequently I use the inaccessible functions.
So, that's it.

No prior warning, no alternative given.
**** Microsoft.

Happy New Year.
