What could change · 06

What would change the KhelKing prediction?

Tennis calls move fast. These are the triggers the KhelKing desk watches.

  1. If

    a different player makes it to this round

    Then

    The call resets entirely. KhelKing updates the pairing as the draw unfolds.

  2. If

    Jordan Thompson survives a marathon in the previous round

    Then

    Fatigue would knock several points off the win chance, especially in a best-of-five.

  3. If

    conditions change (heat, wind or a closed roof)

    Then

    Quicker or slower conditions tilt the serve-return balance the call is built on.
