Nice stats Gameover! Did you trawl through each draw to get those or is there a resource youve accessed?!

Out of interest, what is the mens record since Open tennis began - for slam wins in a year?

At some stage I went through the records on a year by year so no quick way of finding it.

I'm not sure off hand but it must be better than the women because of Andy Murray. The men must have managed some wins in the Henman/Rusedski era. Roger Taylor certainly manged a few in the late 60's and early 70's.

A quick look at a sample of women's 15K qualifying matches (week 19-27). Byes not counted as matches or wins. The MD first round are only for qualifiers. More wins than I'd have guessed. At some point I'll add a few more matches to see if the percentages change - Perhaps also do similar for the men's.

Thanks as always to Indy for collecting the detail

And thanks Strongbow - are the previous years full year titles or at the same week as this year in their respective year?

Up to same week for each year

This is an assessment by Jeff Sackman of the speed of the surface at each ATP Tour event. In essence he uses aces as a proxy for surface speed, but comparing how many aces the cohort of players taking in the event would have been expected to have served given the factors involved such as return quality, conditions etc and compares that with how many aces actually got served. The upshot is a metric where 1 is average (ie they served as many aces as expected) and higher reflects a higher than average surface speed based on this assessment.

Youll see a link in the link below taking one to the same comparisons in past years. Interestingly the same events appear at the top most years, Chengdu being one , the Tour Finals another- with some of the clay events like Umag being consistently low.

Simplistically, if the group of players at an event would have been expected to serve 100 aces in total and serve 95, their metric is 0.95. Another 32 players may enter another event and based on the factors involved be expected to serve 200 aces. They actually serve 190 aces, again a metric of 0.95 and this would suggest the two events have the same speed of court surface. Or something like that.
