Joining the technological advanced modern age, the WTA tour partnered with SAP Business Analytics in 2015 to provide real-time on-court statistical analysis to players and coaches via tablets.

1

Side-by-side comparisons of match stats for both players, updated every 15 seconds.

2

Data that analyzes service performance, service game point success rate and break points saved.

3

Tracking data for serve direction, placement, contact point and shot placement.
