Context The WTA (Women's Tennis Association) is the principal organizing body of women's professional tennis, it governs its own tour worldwide. On its website, it provides a lot of data about the players as individuals as well the tour matches with results and the current rank during it. Luckily for us, [Jeff Sackmann](https://github.com/JeffSackmann) scraped the website and collected everything from there and put in a nice way into easily consumable datasets. _On Jeff's [GitHub account](https://github.com/JeffSackmann) you can find a lot more data about tennis!_ Content The dataset present here is directly downloaded from the source, no alteration on the data was made, the files were only placed in subdirectories so one can easily locate them. It covers statistics of players registered on the WTA, the matches that happened on each tour by year, with results, as well some qualifying matches for the tours. As a reminder, you may not find all data of the matches prior to 2006, so be warned when working with those sets. Acknowledgements Thanks to [Jeff Sackmann](https://github.com/JeffSackmann) for maintaining such collection and making it public! Also, a thank you for WTA for collecting those stats and making them accessible to anyone on their site. Inspiration Here are some things to start: - Which player did the most rapidly climb the ranks through the years? - Does the rank correlates with the money earn by the player? - What can we find about the age? - There is some deterministic factor to own the match?
