in form youngster vs. struggling dirt crawler

Anyone who watched Kohlschreibers match against Ouahab at Marrakesch last week must have doubts that he will thrive against an opponent - fatigue or not - who is not >600 in ranking like Ouahab was. Kohlschreiber was really poor against the man from Morocco last week and i doubt that it was just a lack of motivation since Kohlschreiber made it to the final in Marrakesch in 2017. Kohlschreiber normally does quite well in 250 clay tournaments as those are the ones where he has a chance to win the tournament, collect some cash and points. Sandgren on the other hand has shown his qualities by making it to the QF at the Australian Open and also form is not an issue as he made it to the final in Houston last week. So despite a potential fatigue, i am going against my fellow countryman who is 4-6 at odds <2.0. Sandgren by the way is 4-6 at odds >2.0 and even 5-5 in the odds range 3-6. Happy underdog.

any chance to get the old classic page back? thx for your feedback. appreciated.

Has the classic page been terminated? Would it make much effort to keep it running since i am using this for some analysis.thx.

I made some analysis on the service stats during this Wimbledon tournament for both ladies as i think that i will come down to holding serve here.

Simona Halep:
1st serve % 66% 80% 70% 73%
1st Serves won 71% 68% 74% 68%
Second Serves won 44% 50% 50% 62%
Summary: Halep has average 1st serve % of 72% during first four rounds, making 70% of points on first serve. However when it comes down to second serves her success rate drops to 52%.

Kerber:
58% 68% 72% 62%
86% 88% 63% 65%
81% 60% 47% 67%
Summary: Kerber has worse average 1st serve % of 65% during first four rounds, however making better 76% of points when first serve finds the court. Her advantage is the second serve where she still manages to win 64%, compared to Haleps 52%.

Essentials: Halep wins total 65% of her service points (72% * 70% + 28% * 52%) while Kerber wins total 71% points on serve (65% * 76% + 35% * 64%).

Looking at the receiving points won both are pretty equal, i give slight advantage to Halep here maybe:
Halep: 60% 61% 49% 39% (Average 52%)
Kerber:52% 42% 52% 49% (Average 49%)

Keys to the match for me: Halep is more dependent on here first serve than Kerber who also has a good success rate with her second serve. As the odds suggest this should be a tough match and i give a slight edge to Kerber.

Hi Team,
there is a bug in the system. When i go to the "MyFavourites" section, there was a "load more" button on the bottom of the page. Now there appears to be "No more insight in last 7 days" which sounds wrong as there must be more content in this period available.

Another question: in the welcome back message 01/2015 (http://tennisinsight.com/happy-new-year-and-welcome-back-to-tennisinsight/) there was an announcement for the tennisinsight API. A very interesting thing actually. Has this been prioritized in last 1,5 years?

cheers,
Andreas
