Email: [email protected] 2 Department of Computing, Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus, SW7 2AZ, United Kingdom. Email: {wjk,ds406}@doc.ic.ac.uk Abstract. We explore the relationship between official rankings of pro- fessional tennis players and rankings computed using a variant of the PageRank algorithm as proposed by Radicchi in 2011. We show Radic- chi’s equations follow a natural interpretation of the PageRank algorithm and present up-to-date comparisons of official rankings with PageRank- based rankings for both the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tours. For top-ranked players these two rankings are broadly in line; however, there is wide variation in the tail which leads us to question the degree to which the official ranking mechanism reflects true player ability. For a 390-day sample of recent tennis matches, PageRank-based rankings are found to be better predictors of match outcome than the official rankings. 1 Introduction The rankings of the world’s top tennis players are the subject of much global popular interest.
