## Content types

### Match recaps
Published within minutes of match completion. Each recap includes the final score, a direct-answer summary, verified match statistics (aces, double faults, break points, winners, unforced errors), key takeaways backed by stats, balanced analysis of both players, head-to-head context, and FAQ answering common fan queries. Statistical context from a database of 338K+ historical results is woven into each article.

### Match previews with betting odds
Published the day before quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. Each preview covers head-to-head history, surface-specific records, recent form, betting odds from multiple bookmakers, win probability predictions from a Monte Carlo simulation model, Elo ratings, and a balanced prediction. Deterministic H2H and odds tables are included.

### Live scores
Real-time scores for all in-progress ATP and WTA matches, updated every 60 seconds on the homepage. Shows set-by-set scores, match status, and tournament context.

### Ask TennisMattch (Stats Chat)
A natural language chat interface at [/chat/](/chat/) powered by Claude AI and the TennisMattch database. Users can ask questions in plain English about player records, head-to-head matchups, tournament histories, stat comparisons, and more. The system translates questions into database queries across 338K+ match results and returns accurate, sourced answers. Also available as a floating chat bubble on every page.

### Player pages
Every top 100 ATP and WTA player has a page at /tag/{player-name}/ showing their current ranking, country, 2026 season win-loss record, surface breakdown (hard, clay, grass), career titles, career-high ranking, match history with links to recaps, and all related articles.

### Rankings — Official and Live
- [ATP Rankings](/rankings/atp/): Top 100 men's singles with points and weekly movement
- [WTA Rankings](/rankings/wta/): Top 100 women's singles with points and weekly movement

Official rankings update daily. During active tournaments, a Live Rankings tab shows projected rankings computed from official points minus defending points plus points earned in the current tournament. Live rankings update after every match.

### Elo ratings
A custom Elo rating system tracks player strength based on match results. Elo ratings provide a more granular measure of player ability than official rankings, accounting for opponent strength and margin of victory. Updated after every match.

### Head-to-head rivalries
Career H2H records for 120+ rivalries at /category/head-to-head-tennis/. Each page shows the career record, full match history with scores, surface breakdown, rivalry snapshot, and links to on-site recaps. Data sourced from API-Tennis, Sackman historical CSVs (1968-2024), and the match results database for complete coverage. Covers ATP and WTA rivalries including Djokovic vs Alcaraz, Sinner vs Alcaraz, Sabalenka vs Swiatek, and more.
