2018 Wimbledon Final Update

It's the final of Wimbledon, and we're about to crown the winners of the third Grand Slam of the year! But before the matches start, let's take a look at some stats I calculated for the top 150 players after the jump:

Kevin Anderson and Serena Williams were ranked outside my top 10 before the start of the tournament, so these will change after the finals.

The winners for the Men were the 101-150 ranked players, led by a strong performance from Ernests Gulbis, while the losers were the 21-50 group, despite decent performances from Karen Khachanov and Adrian Mannarino.

For the Women, the best performers were the 11-20 group with Julia Gorges and Jelena Ostapenko performing strongly, on the other hand, the top 10 group did badly here, though along with finalist Angelique Kerber, Karolina Pliskova had a good tournament.

Now, my final ELO ratings and estimated percentage chances of winning:
