Tennis observers of all kinds—journalists, fans, and more—always want more from the statisticians that be about the nuances, trends, and so on associated with the sport, or with a particular match at hand. Enter this Gizmodo article, which reveals how an armada of ambitious techies at JWT Spain are taking the numbers and trajectories of a tennis match (or three to date, all on the ATP World Tour) to the next level. If it's 3D analysis you want, this could be your favorite app in the future: "There’s a heat map that shows where the most balls land; trajectories of the ball for every set, game and point; a particle view that shows where the balls have the most impact; and options to control the opacity of the court, the color of the ball trajectories for each player, and how fast the court rotates. It can be filtered by set, game, or point."
