Tennis Match Statistics
Analyze your match performance with service rating, return rating, dominance ratio, serve effectiveness, and break point conversion. These metrics reveal patterns that predict outcomes and highlight strengths.
🎾 Why This Metric Matters
Why It Matters
Match statistics help players and coaches identify strengths and weaknesses. Service rating and dominance ratio are strong predictors of match outcome. Break point conversion often decides close matches.
How It's Applied
Enter your match stats: aces, double faults, first-serve %, first-serve points won, second-serve points won, break points saved/faced, winners, unforced errors, and total points. The calculator computes service rating, return rating, dominance ratio, serve effectiveness, and overall performance.
Key Insights
- ●Service rating 70+ = elite serving
- ●Dominance ratio > 1.0 = clean hitting
- ●Break point conversion often decides close matches
- ●First-serve % and 1st-serve points won are strongest predictors

🎾 Grand Slam Facts
Roger Federer held a 70%+ first-serve points won for most of his career.
— ATP
Dominance ratio above 1.5 is common among top 10 players.
— Ubitennis
Elite servers save 70%+ of break points. Isner and Karlović excel here.
— ATP
Tennis match statistics reveal performance patterns that predict outcomes. Service rating combines first-serve %, first-serve points won, second-serve points won, and double-fault penalty. Dominance ratio (winners ÷ unforced errors) indicates aggressive play. Break point conversion often decides close matches. Elite players achieve 70+ service rating and 1.5+ dominance ratio.

Key Takeaways
- • First-serve % and first-serve points won are the strongest predictors of match outcome.
- • Dominance ratio > 1.0 means more winners than errors; elite players exceed 1.5.
- • Break point conversion often decides close matches. Saving 60%+ when serving is solid.
- • Serve+1 (first shot after serve) success is critical. Top players win 70%+ of points when landing first serve and following up aggressively.
Did You Know?
How Does Match Stats Analysis Work?
Service Rating
SR = (1st% × 1st won) + (2nd% × 2nd won) − (DF/points)×100. Combines serve effectiveness with double-fault penalty.
Dominance Ratio
DR = Winners ÷ Unforced Errors. Above 1.0 means clean hitting. Elite players exceed 1.5.
Break Point Conversion
BP Saved / BP Faced × 100 when serving. Converting 40%+ when receiving is strong. Saving 60%+ when serving is solid.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is service rating in tennis?
Service rating combines first-serve %, first-serve points won, second-serve points won, and double-fault penalty. Formula: SR = (1st% × 1st won) + (2nd% × 2nd won) − (DF/points)×100. Elite players score 70+.
What is dominance ratio?
Dominance ratio = Winners ÷ Unforced Errors. Above 1.0 means you hit more winners than errors. Top pros often exceed 1.5. A ratio below 0.8 suggests defensive or error-prone play.
What is a good break point conversion rate?
Saving 60%+ of break points faced is solid. Converting 40%+ when receiving is strong. In close matches, break point conversion often decides the outcome. Elite servers save 70%+ on break points.
What is serve effectiveness?
Serve effectiveness = First-serve % × First-serve points won % ÷ 100. A 70% first-serve with 75% points won gives 52.5. Values above 50 indicate dominant serving.
How do tennis analytics predict match outcomes?
First-serve percentage and first-serve points won are the strongest predictors. Serve+1 (first shot after serve) success is critical. IBM and Hawk-Eye provide real-time stats. Dominance ratio indicates aggressive play style.
What stats matter most in a tennis match?
First-serve %, first-serve points won, break point conversion, and winners-to-errors ratio. A 70% first-serve with 75% points won is elite. Break points often decide close matches. Dominance ratio > 1.0 shows clean hitting.
