Minimum 30 matches with a recorded score. Below that the figure is noise and publishing it would be faking precision. Each family of metrics carries its own counter — 200 matches is not 200 tiebreaks.
The denominator is sets, not matches. It is 6-0 sets over sets WON, so it does not reward whoever plays more. The minimum is applied to matches with a recorded score, because the count of sets won is not stored as its own column.
Window. Five years of results. These rows need only the scoreline, which exists far further back than serve statistics do.
One division at a time. A player belongs to the Challenger/ITF division when more than half of their matches since 2024 are played there. Mixing the two ranks schedules rather than players: the raw list of closers was headed by an ITF player at 100% over twenty matches.
Not a betting signal. It describes a player, not a price. Our own prediction engine is measured against the market and loses: 0.632 log loss against 0.593.
