Tennis data analysis - Men's ATP tournaments won by RANK -


A few tennis stats of my own (data courtesy of ATP) right at the start of the US OPEN: while it is true that almost half of all men's tournaments YTD 2015 have been won by players ranked within the top 10, there are a few facts that stand out:
  • ATP 250 tournaments are won by players well distributed among the ranks of 1-100
  • Uzbek tennis player Denis Istomin did win the AGEON open ATP 500 in Nottingham in on June 27, 2015 at rank 92
  • American player Rajeev Ram, known as a double specialist, did win the Newport Hall of Fame Championship ATP 250 while being ranked at 161
  • SUI player Wawrinka did win the French Open this year while being ranked 9th
  • All the Masters 1000 tournaments went to the top 3 ranked players (Djokovic (4), Federer (1), Murray (2))

Fact: "while rank determines majority of the winners, there are a few oddities..." Enjoy the info and US OPEN

Here are my three scenarios which I drafted on March 22, 2020. I recently added another scenario on April 15th 2020. Let me also say that it is much more important in my mind to make sure that the health crisis is foremost tackled to save as much lives! #Blib Dihei Keep in mind these are speculations: 1) U-Shape recovery with overshooting due to consumers getting back into spending quickly. Spending is done more aggressively than anticipated and the GDP growth rate may top pre-crisis level in the very short term. The growth rate will then revert back to the steady state fairly quickly. This scenario is a wishful thinking but could potentially happen. Recovery would come in the 3rd quarter after ...

Interesting analysis on stock market returns and US presidents

The claim is that under democratic US presidents the stock market annual averages were up by 6.7% historically since 1900 compared to +3.0% for republican presidents. The highest returns have been observed during periods with a Democrat President and either the House/Senate split between Democrats and Republicans or fully Republican.

Though such a correlation observation has validity, business and economic cycles often are only partially influenced by the political parties in charge. Other factors such as central bank policies, global economic forces and timing of economic cycles have influence over the stock market. Thus I would regard this correlation matrix as interesting but not telling the entire story. A Republican or Democratic president may come into office during an economic favorably or disadvantaged time. For example, Bill ...
