The two things I've focused most on:
Is creating a power ranking system for tracking the strength of players at a given point in time, and thus the value of their wins/losses more accurately; as the current atp rankings are really built to protect top players, not show weekly and monthly momentum.
And then, obviously, there is a huge void out there for finding reputable stats analysis outside basic h2h matchups. So you can't easily see things like serve percentage for Nadal on grass. Or quality wins for Jack Sock over the last 6 months.
I've put in about 200 hours this month and I'm getting close to finishing up the first version of the site, but I'd love to hear any specific requests for statistics people would find especially beneficial. Of course I will continue to add things over time, but it's much easier to fine tune things before the site layout is finalized.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
