Hi,
This is my first blog.. First Data Geek Challenge… Felling good J
I started using SAP Lumira from last one month after reading some tutorials and listening some online session, I found this tool is one of the best self-service BI tool.
I accepted the Data Geek Challenge III and analyzing Career and 2014 statistics of Top 5 players in ATP and WTA using SAP Lumira desktop version 1.18. Due to some limitation, I was not able to explore more on Lumira extensions.
My allegiance is for the House of Titans - Sworn to Sports and Entertainment. Now, we already have some examples on how Sports and Technology is making difference in their respective games. Latest News is “ICC named SAP as Analytics and Cloud partner for World cup 2015”
Data Preparation
Data Sources:
Downloaded the data from above links and organized in the preparation section
Created calculated measures to find ratios and percentage values for some measures where I found necessary.
Some of the dimensions are converted to measures
Introduction
Most historians believe that tennis originated in the monastic cloisters in northern France in the 12th century, but the ball was then struck with the palm of the hand hence the name “jeu de paume ("game of the palm")”.It was not until the 16th century that rackets came into use, and the game began to be called "tennis." It was popular in England and France, although the game was only played indoors where the ball could be hit off the wall. Henry VIII of England was a big fan of this game, which historians now refer to as real tennis.
Some Terminology
Wingfield borrowed both the name and much of the French vocabulary of real tennis:
The four Majors or Grand Slam tournaments, the four biggest competitions on the tennis circuit, are Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open. Since the mid 1920s they became and have remained the most prestigious events in tennis. Winning these four tournaments in the same year is called the Grand Slam.

Conclusion:
I believed that this game is about winning individually. The demands of performing at the professional level should become the ground rules for developing junior tennis players. I feel that a professional game style should be congruent with the individual's culture, attributes, abilities and personal vision of how the game of tennis should be played.
Thanks for Lumira team for this opportunity.
