As tennis fans, we pay for the drama, and upsets give us the absolute most of that. But traditionally, we tend to forget about the incredible matches that have been played at the US Open in New York. Sure, Roberta Vinci defeating Serena Williams in 2015 was huge, but when was the last time you talked about Arnaud Clement's 1990 victory over Andre Agassi, or Venus Williams' 1997 upset of Anke Huber? In this episode of Replay, we set out to create an 'objective' formula to help rank the greatest upsets in US Open History. This is Replay: a series where we look at the way numbers have shaped the game we love. Now, the nerdy information promised in the video: THE FORMULA Upset Score = [(Losing Player’s Player Score) - (Winning Player’s Player Score)] * Matchup Score Player Score = (Seeding Score + Ranking Score + Time on Tour Score + Career Record Score + Record on Surface Score + Record at Tournament Score) * Age Coefficient Matchup Score = Prior Head-to-Head Score + Tournament Round Score + Sets Played Score + Je Ne Sais Quoi VARIABLE CALCULATIONS Seeding Total number in draw (minus) the player’s tournament seed. Unseeded players = ½ of total tournament draw Qualifiers/LL = total of tournament draw Wildcards = either ½ or total, depending on circumstances Ranking 32 (minus) player’s ranking going into tournament If no rank during tournament, = 1,000. Age Age coefficients calculated by historical averages. Time on Tour Number of years a “pro”, multiplied by 5 Career Record Each previous title = 1 point Each previous grand slam = 5 points Record on Surface Grand slams won on surface = +10 Titles won on surface = +5 Record at Tournament Previous wins at tournament = +10 Previous Finals = +5 Previous Semifinals = +3 Previous Quarterfinals = +2 Non-cumulative each year First time competing at tournament = -50 First time making it this far at tournament = -25 Non-cumulative Prior head-to-head record Percentage of previous matches player has lost If no prior matches, = 50 Tournament Round 1st round = 10 2nd round = 20 3rd round = 30 4th round = 40 Quarterfinals = 50 Semifinals = 75 Finals = 100 Sets Played ATP = 10 x Sets WTA = 10 x (Sets + 2) Je Ne Sais Quoi Non-quantifiable circumstances that add significance to match, +50 -- Tennis Channel is the only 24-hour, television-based multimedia destination dedicated to both the professional sport and tennis lifestyle.
