2015 AO Men's Singles Summary + ELO Rankings 02/02/2015

With the Australian Open finishing today, now's the best time to have a look back at how my predictions did. These predictions were solely based on an ELO rating system I have been calibrating for a few weeks based solely on Grand Slam matches from 2014 and the ATP tournaments held so far in 2015.

R1: 41/64 (64%)
R2: 21/32 (66%)
R3: 13/16 (81%)
R4: 7/8 (88%)
R5: 4/4 (100%)
R6: 2/2 (100%)
R7: 1/1 (100%)

Overall: 89/127 (70%)

For a rating system that isn't yet fully calibrated in my opinion, I'm very happy with these results. I hope to do better at Roland Garros as my system learns more, but knowing how difficult it can be to predict matches, I'm not expecting to break 75%.

Because the Grand Slam tournaments have more rounds (and an additional week) than most ATP tournaments, my Big Gainer of the (2) week(s) automatically goes to the winner, Novak Djokovic. His victory gained him 52 rating points and moves him ahead of Federer to claim the #1 position!

The Upset player of the (2) week(s) goes to Tommy Robredo, who lost 12 rating points following his 1st round loss, and fell 3 places to #17 on my rankings. Let's hope he does better at Paris.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Nick Kyrgios, Bernard Tomic, Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, Steve Johnson and Jarkko Nieminen

Now, the the full rankings. (± is for ranking, not rating. Some players who are new to the rankings will have artificially high ± scores as I add them to the bottom before sorting them in to their new position)
