tennis stats
How to calculate Tennis win percentage
Tennis win percentage is wins ÷ (wins + losses) × 100. So 12 wins and 8 losses = 12 ÷ 20 × 100 = 60% win rate. The number is more useful when you can see your win rate against specific opponent strength tiers (against weaker players, same level, stronger). Apps like Volley break this down automatically.
Why this matters for tennis players
Most Tennis players who track stats fall into two camps: the casual ones who want to know if they're getting better, and the competitive ones who want to know exactly how they stack up against rivals. The same numbers serve both groups, but the framing is different.
How Volley tracks this automatically
The way Volley handles this: tap to score during the match, the stats compute automatically once the match ends, and you can review them any time from your profile. Same flow for all 9 sports the app supports.
Tips for improving
The single biggest lever for improving any of these stats is who you play against. Stronger opponents teach you more per match (and push your rating up more per win). Same-level opponents give you the most reliable feedback on your current form.
