What would change our mind?

Tennis calls move fast; these are the triggers we watch.

  • If a different player reaches this round

    The whole call resets; we refresh the pairing as the draw plays out.

  • If Jelena Ostapenko comes through a long previous match

    Fatigue would cut several points from our win chance, especially in a best-of-five.

  • If conditions change (heat, wind or a roof closure)

    Faster or slower conditions shift the serve-return balance we built the call on.
