2016 US Open Final update

The semi finals finished on time, so it's time for a quick update to my ELO ratings for the finals of the US Open.

But before the rankings, some stats I calculated for the top 150 players:

Men's Rank	± ELO
1-10	63
11-20	-25
21-50	13
51-100	37
101-150	-10

Women's Rank	± ELO
1-10	69
11-20	-5
21-50	23
51-100	3
101-150	-34

All 4 finalists are in the top 10, so these are the final numbers, with the last change being a 5 point gain for the top 10 women from the 21-50 group. Now all that's left is to see which top 10 player will win the title.

2016 US Open Semi Final update

The quarter finals finished on time, so it's time for a quick update to my ELO ratings for the semi finals of the US Open.

But before the rankings, some stats I calculated for the top 150 players:

Men's Rank	± ELO
1-10	63
11-20	-25
21-50	13
51-100	37
101-150	-10

Women's Rank	± ELO
1-10	64
11-20	-5
21-50	28
51-100	3
101-150	-34

The 4 men who remain in the tournament are all in the top 10 above, so this is the final version of those stats. The only changes are that the top 10 gained ELO mainly at the expense of the 21-50 group. The top 10 women make up 3 out of the 4 semi finalists, and they gained points from the last round at the expense of the 21-50 and 51-100 groups.

2016 US Open Quarter Final update

Round 4 has finished on time, so it's time for a quick update to my ELO ratings for the quarter finals of the US Open.

1-10	53
11-20	-5
21-50	33

The big change for the men this round is that the 21-50 ranked players have improved at the expense of the top 10 players. For the Women, the 11-20 ranked players suffered in the last round, with the 21-50 ranked players benefiting.

2016 US Open Round 4 update

Round 3 has finished on time, so it's time for a quick update to my ELO ratings for round 4 of the US Open.

But before the rankings, some stats I calculated for the top 150 players:

2016 US Open Round 3 update

Round 2 has finished on time, so it's time for a quick update to my ELO ratings for round 3 of the US Open.

But before the rankings, some stats I calculated for the top 150 players:

11-20	7
21-50	21

The 11-20 ranked men have done much better this round than the previous round, taking most of those points from players ranked 21-50, such as David Ferrer's win over Fabio Fognini, and those outside of the top 150.

The big change for the women this time is an improvement in the 21-50 group, at the expense of the 51-100 group, such as Johanna Larsson's win over Denisa Allertova and the 101-150 group, such as Timea Babos' win over Richel Hogenkamp.
