Live tournament predictions in tennis

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising one or more sequence of instructions, which, when executed by a processor, causes a computing system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by the computing system, historical match data associated with a plurality of tennis players, the historical match data comprising historical match metrics;
• generating, by the computing system, player rankings, the player rankings comprising a player ranking for each tennis player of the plurality of tennis players based on the historical match data;
• receiving, by the computing system, a two-dimensional overhead view of a match from an optically-based system;
• generating, by the computing system, from the two-dimensional overhead view of the match, tracking data of a first tennis player of the plurality of tennis players, tracking data of a second tennis player of the plurality of tennis players, and motion data of an object, wherein the tracking data of the first tennis player and second tennis player includes player identity data and motion data;
• receiving, by the computing system, information associated with a tennis tournament, the information comprising a subset of tennis players in the tennis tournament and a seeding of each tennis player in the subset of tennis players;
• generating, by the computing system, initial predictions based on the information associated with the tennis tournament and the player rankings;
• identifying, by the computing system, a trigger event, wherein the trigger event is identified by parsing the tracking data of the first tennis player, the tracking data of the second tennis player, and the motion data of the object for event information related to the match, and wherein the trigger event causes an update to the initial predictions;
• responsive to identifying the trigger event, generating, by the computing system, updated predictions based on in-match data, the in-match data comprising a change to a score in the match between the first tennis player and the second tennis player of the tennis tournament;
• and
• outputting, by the computing system, the updated predictions.

A system comprising:
