  • Probability of Winning and Match Length in Tiebreak Ten Tennis Peter
    Probability of winning and match length in Tiebreak Ten tennis Peter O’Donoghue and Emma Simmonds Cardiff School of Sport, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Cyncoed Campus, Cardiff, CF23 6XD. Abstract New formats of tennis have been developed to make matches more exciting and unpredictable than the traditional format of the game. The purpose of the current investigation was to compare and the probability of winning between Tiebreak Ten matches and two other formats of the game; Fast4 tennis and traditional tennis. A probabilistic model of winning Tiebreak Ten tennis matches was created and compared with existing models of Fast4 and traditional tennis matches. This analysis was done for a full range of probabilities of players winning points when they are serving. This involved 1000 simulations for each pair of probabilities for two players serving for multiple set matches in Fast4 tennis and traditional tennis. The probability of players beating higher ranked opponents was found to be higher in Tiebreak Ten matches than in Fast4 and traditional tennis matches. This confirms the claim that Tiebreak Ten matches are less predictable and hence more exciting than Fast4 and traditional tennis matches. Key words: simulation, racket sports, rule changes, probability, modelling. Introduction Many rules for sports were developed in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Many of these rules and regulations have gradually changed as sports have evolved in the years since. There are various motives for changing rules such as maintaining competitiveness, improving the safety of athletes, accommodating improving player performance, attracting participants and spectators, adapting sports to children as well as commercial and media pressures (Williams, 2008; Arias, Argudo, & Alonso, 2011).

  • Cincinnati Natives Mcnally, Wolf Awarded Western & Southern Open
    Cincinnati Natives McNally, Wolf Awarded Western & Southern Open Wild Cards Caty McNally to Make Main Draw Singles Debut; JJ Wolf Returns in Qualifying CINCINNATI (July 31, 2019) – Two Cincinnati natives have been awarded wild cards to participate in the Western & Southern Open. Seventeen-year-old Caty McNally will make her main draw debut while 20-year-old JJ Wolf will play qualifying at this year’s tournament which will be held August 10-18 at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio. McNally is a native of Madeira who turned pro in April. She will be playing W&S Open singles for the first time after previously playing doubles here in 2017. Last month she made her Grand Slam main draw debut at Wimbledon after qualifying. She has enjoyed success at ITF 100k tournaments this season, winning the title at February’s Midland, Mich., event without dropping a set and later reaching the semifinals at Surbiton in June. As a junior, McNally was runner-up in singles at the 2018 French Open. The former Madeira High School standout also enjoyed juniors doubles success with titles at the 2018 US Open and French Open along with a runner-up finish at Wimbledon. She reached a career high of No. 6 in the junior rankings earlier this year. Wolf turned pro in July after three successful seasons at Ohio State University. He capped his Buckeye career with a 35-2 season in which he was the ITA All-American Singles Champion and was named Big Ten Player of the Year. He was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2017 despite only playing the spring season after graduating early from Cincinnati Country Day.
