Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into tennis stats and match-ups lately, and the Tommy Paul vs. Ben Shelton match at the US Open really caught my eye. I wanted to see if I could figure out who might win, just for fun, you know?
First, I started by looking at their recent matches. Just kinda scrolling through their past performances, who they played, and if they won or lost. I wasn’t looking for anything super specific at this point, more like getting a general feel.
Then, I dug a little deeper. I checked out their head-to-head record. Had they played each other before? If so, who won, and what were the scores? This helps to see if one player has a clear advantage over the other, style-wise.
- Tommy Paul: Looking solid, good baseline game.
- Ben Shelton: Big server, powerful, but sometimes inconsistent.
I am checking their performance data on hard courts(because the US open is on the hard court).This step is very important.
After looking at all the stats and stuff, I started forming my prediction. It wasn’t just a random guess, I was trying to be a little bit, you know, analytical about it!
It’s tough. Shelton has that huge serve, which is a weapon, especially on a hard court. But Paul, is more consistent. I really thought about this.
I finished my analysis, and after doing a little bit of my notes,I thought Tommy Paul have some advantage to Ben * who knows? That’s the fun of sports, right? Anything can happen on the day!
