ATP data for the tennis-hof project

The pinned data source for jmatarese/tennis-hof, an objective ranking of ATP players for the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

All data was collected and compiled by Jeff Sackmann. This is a copy kept by the project so the version it uses can't change underneath it.

Where it came from

Duplicated on 2026-10-21 from Aneeshers/tennis-sackmann-archive at commit 8ac86f7c62889b5d5c4cfec4c6403edcb8c5d993, an archival mirror of:

Each folder keeps Sackmann's original README as UPSTREAM_README.md.

What the project uses

Viewer table Files What it is
matches atp/atp_matches_YYYY.csv Tour-level singles matches, 1968 on, one file per year
rankings atp/atp_rankings_*.csv Weekly ATP rankings (the rankings start in 1973)
players atp/atp_players.csv One row per player: id, name, hand, birth date, country

Column definitions: atp/matches_data_dictionary.txt. The wta/ and slam_pointbypoint/ folders, and the challenger, futures and qualifying files in atp/, are kept but not currently used.

Versions

Each version is a tag. The project pins the tag's commit hash in data/snapshot.toml, because a tag can be moved and a hash can't.

Tag What changed
v1 The source as duplicated, plus this card
