The best tennis prediction site operates a Markov chain model built on point-by-point serve statistics — a mathematical framework that is fundamentally different from both football Poisson modelling and basketball efficiency rating systems. Tennis prediction exploits three structural features that make it one of the most model-amenable sports: the match is entirely decomposed into service games (the serving player has a systematic advantage measured by first-serve percentage and serve win rate), surface specificity (clay vs hard vs grass performance is statistically separable for most players)
