News Release
News Release 14 December 2016 INDIAN WELLS, LONDON-QUEEN’S, STOCKHOLM & WINSTON-SALEM VOTED 2016 ATP WORLD TOUR TOURNAMENTS OF THE YEAR LONDON – The ATP has announced the Tournaments of the Year in the 2016 ATP World Tour Awards presented by Moët & Chandon, with the BNP Paribas Open and Aegon Championships joined by the If Stockholm Open and Winston-Salem Open as the most favoured ATP World Tour events in their respective tournament categories. The Tournament of the Year awards, voted annually by ATP players, recognise the leading standards set across the three tournament categories on the Tour. Indian Wells repeats at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 level, while The Queen’s Club in London wins for the second successive year as a 500 tournament. In the 250 category, first-time winners Stockholm and Winston-Salem share honours. Visit the official ATP World Tour Awards section on ATPWorldTour.com Chris Kermode, ATP Executive Chairman & President, said: “These tournaments have set the benchmark in their respective categories in 2016 and fully deserve this recognition from the players. Our tournaments are continuously striving to reach greater heights, and this is a fitting recognition of the tireless work and effort that has been put in by each tournament’s organising team.” The BNP Paribas Open has been named as the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Tournament of the Year for the third consecutive season.

Open Godbole__Nimay Honors Thesis Final.Pdf
THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IDENTIFYING OPTIMAL TENNIS BETTING PORTFOLIOS BASED ON VARYING RISK TOLERANCES OF BETTORS NIMAY GODBOLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Finance with honors in Finance Reviewed and approved* by the following: Dr. Robert Novack Associate Professor of Business Logistics Thesis Supervisor Dr. Brian Davis Clinical Assistant Professor of Finance Honors Adviser * Electronic approvals are on file. i ABSTRACT This thesis assesses the risk versus return relationship in tennis betting among the different tournaments that exist within the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour, the main men’s tennis governing body. To do so, betting data is gathered from a website well-known for this data collection, http://www.tennis-data.co.uk/. The purpose of this thesis is to identify optimal betting portfolios for bettors with varying levels of risk aversion. Expected returns and standard deviations of Grand Slam, Masters 1000, ATP 500, and ATP 250 tournaments were analyzed to create an optimal risky portfolio using Markowtiz’s Portfolio Theory. Once that was created, optimal betting portfolios were created by betting a portion of the money in the tennis betting market and investing the rest in Vanguard’s Prime Money Market Fund, VMMXX. The key finding is significant; at a risk aversion level of A = 4, the portfolio yields a return of 11.02 percent and a standard deviation of 15.02 percent, which is a higher return and lower standard deviation than the historical average of the S&P 500.

Optimal Solutions to Tennis Scoring Systems, Challenge System, Court Surface Allocation and Olympic Games Format
Optimal Solutions to Tennis Scoring Systems, Challenge System, Court Surface Allocation and Olympic Games Format By Tristan Barnett Scoring Systems The fundamental problem with current scoring systems is the deuce game is very “inefficient”. Some games can last for 25 minutes. The 50-40 game where the server has to win 4 points and the receiver has to win 3 points is very “efficient”. At most only 6 points are played in such a game. The number of games played in a set are significantly reduced since there are more breaks of serve. Hence, with the 50-40 game, a ‘long’ advantage final set is highly unlikely. The author has listed all the current scoring systems in table 1 and proposed scoring systems in the second table 2. The author thinks it makes sense to have just the one game structure and the 50-40 game due to its simplicity I feel is best to achieve this goal. All the early sets are tiebreak with a first-to-7 point tiebreak game at 6 games-all. The final set is advantage with a first-to-7 point tiebreak game at 12 games-all. Playing a final advantage set makes sense to keep with tradition. Matches are either 3 or 5 sets. This simplifies the scoring systems to 2. The author published a paper: Barnett T (2012). Analyzing tennis scoring systems: from the origins to today. Journal of Medicine and Science in Tennis 17(2), 68-77. http://strategicgames.com.au/article32.pdf which demonstrates why the deuce game came about and why the 50-40 game could potentially replace it.

The 24-year-old Bulgarian is 26th in the Emirates ATP Rankings, the lowest he’s been since he entered the 2013 If Stockholm Open at No. 28. Dimitrov went on to defeat World No. 3 David Ferrer for the title, then repeated his run to the championship match in 2014 (l. to No. 7 Tomas Berdych). Just 11-11 since May 7, Dimitrov has yet to reach an ATP World Tour final this season. He opens his campaign against former junior rival Filip Krajinovic in the last match on Tuesday’s schedule. The winner of Dimitrov vs. Krajinovic will face either Finnish wild card Jarkko Nieminen or Daniel Muñoz-de la Nava, who also meet on Tuesday. With Mikael Ymer’s loss on Monday, Nieminen is the lone Scandinavian player left in what happens to be the last tournament of his career. The 34- year-old left-hander is retiring at the conclusion of the If Stockholm Open, where he reached the singles final in 2001, 2006 and 2011, as well as the doubles final with Johan Brunström of Sweden in 2010.

Memorable and Action-Packed Week As a Volunteer at Stockholm Open
Memorable and action-packed week as a volunteer at Stockholm Open In July 2016, while preparing for the Rogers Cup tennis tournament in Toronto, I received an email from our newest member of the Guest Services Committee, Anders Wahlfridsson, a SALK member. This was the first time our committee would have a visiting volunteer during the tournament and I felt quite honoured (and curious) that someone from Sweden would travel all the way to Canada to volunteer at our tennis tournament. The more I heard of his story, the more fascinated I became. The idea of volunteering at another tournament was brilliant. I had visited many other tournaments in the past, but had never thought of volunteering. In 2018, the Stockholm Open would be celebrating its 50th anniversary and there would be no better opportunity to be apart of such a special tournament. Now, it was my turn! Booked my flight, accommodation and now just had to wait until October for everything to happen. Oh right, I should learn some Swedish before going...I signed up with Duolingo and off I went. Mycket bra! A month before the tournament, I was introduced to Henrik Stenmo and Anton Johnson to finalize scheduling details. The first request from Henrik was to have me help out with a Pro-Am at the Salkhallen. It would include a “couple of Swedish legends like Pim-Pim Johansson, Mats Wilander, Robin Soderling, Magnus Gustafsson and Joakim Nystrom. ”OMG, this is going to be AWESOME! I didn’t leave much time to get adjusted to the new time zone.
