Live Tennis API

Live matches

List tennis matches currently in progress, with live scores. Covers ATP, WTA, Challenger, ITF and juniors. Use this for "what tennis is on right now".

Upcoming matches

List tennis matches scheduled to start soon, with players and tournament.

Match detail

Full detail for one match by id: players, score, surface, round and status. Includes market prices on PRO and model analysis on ULTRA.

Match score

Current score for one match — the fastest, lowest-latency read. Use this when you only need the score and already know the match id.

Search players

Search tennis players by name. Returns id, country, ranking and tour. Use the returned id with get_player.

Player profile

One player's profile: ranking, country, handedness, date of birth and cached stats.

Fixture schedule

Upcoming scheduled tennis fixtures, earliest first — the forward schedule.

Tournament catalogue

Search the tournament catalogue — the stable id space that match objects carry as tournament_id. Returns surface, indoor, host city/country and category where curated.

Tournament detail

One tournament by its stable id — the tournament_id carried on match objects. Name, tour, surface, indoor, plus host city/country and category where curated.

Recent results

Recently completed tennis matches with final scores and winners. Filterable by tour, player, nationality and play date. Requires the BASIC plan or any History plan.

Results archive (1968–2022)

Search the results archive — completed-match RESULTS from 1968 through 2022: ATP and WTA, main draws, qualifying and the ITF/futures tiers. Winner/loser-shaped records with final score, seeds and ranks AT THE TIME of the match. Use this for historical questions ("Borg's Wimbledon finals"); the archive ends 2022-12-31 where our own results (get_recent_results) begin. Requires the BASIC plan or any History plan.

Archive result detail

One result from the results archive (1968–2022), with per-match serve statistics where the era recorded them — stats are null for most rows before 1991, honestly, never synthesised. Requires the BASIC plan or any History plan.

Archive player bios

The people of the results archive (1968–2022): hand, date of birth, country, height, and career-high rank with the week it was first reached. Their ids are corpus person ids (the winner/loser player_id on archive results), not roster ids — for current players use search_players. Requires the BASIC plan or any History plan.

Archive career aggregates

One player's whole career over the results archive (1968–2022): W-L record overall and by surface/level/year, titles, and summed serve statistics with honest coverage — the corpus records serve stats from 1991 only, so matches_with_stats states how many matches the serve block covers. The name must resolve to one person; an ambiguous fragment returns the candidate list to choose from. Requires the BASIC plan or any History plan.

Head-to-head

The all-time record between two players, across BOTH halves of the product: the results archive (1968–2022) plus our own completed matches (2023 onward). Names are the keys — an ambiguous fragment returns the candidate list to choose from rather than guessing. Totals count only meetings with a known winner; walkovers and retirements are part of the record and each meeting carries its outcome. Requires the BASIC plan or any History plan.

Match timeline

Timeline of events for a match — breaks, games won, sets won, momentum runs. Requires the PRO plan.

Match market prices

Match-winner market prices for a match — implied probability per player, with bid, ask and mid. Requires the PRO plan.

Rankings listing

The FULL published ranking table in rank order for one system — the newest week at or before as_of. Rows carry player_name as published and a null player_id for players outside our roster, so the table has no silent holes. ATP/WTA history runs deep; the ITF circuits begin 2026-07-29. For point-in-time records of SPECIFIC players use get_player_rankings. Requires the PRO plan.

Model analysis

Model analysis for a match: predicted win probability, the model's thesis and the key factors behind it. Requires the ULTRA plan.

Player rankings as of a date

Point-in-time ranking records for SPECIFIC players: per system, the newest record in force ON OR BEFORE as_of — never one dated after it. Every other ranking field in this API is the CURRENT value joined at read time; this is the historical answer. Systems are never collapsed: ATP/WTA and the ITF circuits carry rank+points, UTR a rating. ITF and UTR history begins 2026-07-29. Requires the ULTRA plan.

Match statistics

In-play (or final) statistics for one match, in TWO families kept deliberately separate: DERIVED is rebuilt from the point-by-point record (holds/breaks, break points, service/return points); MEASURED is counted upstream and includes what no point record can yield — aces, double faults, the serve split, winners/unforced errors. Measured coverage varies by tour; absent fields are omitted, never zero-filled. Requires the ULTRA plan.

Charting: player career profile

Career shot-level profile from the Match Charting Project: serve placement (deuce/ad × wide/body/T), return depth and outcomes, net play, clutch break/game/set-point serving, winners and errors by wing, rally-length tendencies — summed over the player's charted matches. COVERAGE IS CURATED (11,646 charted matches back to the 1960s, concentrated on the majors), not full-slate. An ambiguous name returns the candidates to choose from. Requires the ULTRA plan.

Charting: one match, every stat family

Every Match Charting Project stat family for ONE charted match, both players, with the per-set split (set 1, set 2, …, Total) exactly as charted. Charting ids are their own id space (1960–2026), mostly matches with no counterpart in the live tables. Requires the ULTRA plan.
