Wimbledon scientists reveal the luckiest and unluckiest courts for British tennis players

British stars Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray are among the British players kicking off their Wimbledon campaigns on Centre Court today, marking the first day of this year's hotly-anticipated tennis Championships. For any tennis player, a match on Centre Court is a highlight of the annual calendar – not only is it the biggest stage at the world's most prestigious tennis tournament, but a chance to perform in front of distinguished guests, including the Royal family. However, whether or not it's the best place to secure a win for homegrown tennis stars is another matter. Researchers at IBM, the official technology partner of The Championships, have trawled through 21 years of data to find the Wimbledon court with the best British win percentage so far this century. The data covers all Gentlemen's and Ladies' singles matches on all Wimbledon courts going back to 2000, when IBM's records start, captured using its IBM Watson AI software.
