Okay, so today I decided to mess around with tracking tennis scores, specifically for Alexander Bublik. I’m not a huge tennis buff, but I find it interesting to see how data can be pulled and used, even for something as seemingly simple as a tennis match score.
Getting Started
First, I needed to figure out where to get the data. I mean, I wasn’t about to sit and manually record every point. No way! I started poking around, you know, just doing some basic searches.
The Experiment
I played around with a few different options. Honestly, a lot of it was trial and error. I was mostly messing around, trying to see what format the data was in and how easy it would be to grab.
Figuring it Out
I was able to get the current score, which was pretty cool. It wasn’t super complicated once I looked at the data * wasn’t real-time, up-to-the-second updates, but it was good enough for my little experiment.
Putting It Together
After I got the basic score retrieval working, I was done for today.
