As the Australian Open 2017 advances, the tournament draw is getting more unpredictable day by day. With the top players not matching the expectations and unseeded players taking full advantage of the opportunity, it will be interesting to see who gets the trophy in the end.
Australian Open collaborates with IBM to gather and analyze the match stats as well as evaluate how all the players are performing here in comparison with other Grand Slam tournaments.
The two visualizations below show the no. of Grand Slam winners who are also First time winners and how many of them win more grand slam titles in the future.
This visualization represents the Men’s Singles 1st time Grand slam winners.
This visualization represents the Women’s Singles 1st time Grand slam winners.
The colors which represent each tournament are their official colors due to which it is easier to associate them with their respective charts. The yellow dots which represent the tennis balls give the precise depiction of the no. of winners and in this case, the pie chart gives clear idea of the % of winners who go on to win more tournaments.
The graph shows that 1st time US Open winners are more likely to go on and win more Grand Slam titles in both the Men’s and Women’s categories. But going by the difference in % , we can deduce that it is more challenging for Men’s 1st time winners to secure multiple grand slam titles than Women’s 1st time winners.
