What you need firstLink to this section

Trends needs matches on at least three different days, so until then the page asks you to track matches on three separate days. Finish a few more matches across different days and the chart will open up.

Choose what to followLink to this section

  • Player — the player you want to follow, which is you by default.
  • Metric — one number, like your error rate or your winner rate.

Narrow the matchesLink to this section

Pick exactly which matches feed the line:

  • Date range — the last 90, 180, or 365 days, or all of them.
  • Match type — all, official match, practice match, or other.
  • Event — all, singles, doubles, or one event (MS, WS, MD, WD, XD).
  • Labels — only if you've tagged rallies with labels.

Read the chartLink to this section

The chart plots your number up the side and the match date across the bottom. Turn on smoothing to switch from the raw numbers to an average, which makes the overall direction easier to read when your matches jump around.

The date on the bottom axis is the match date on each project — the day you played. Leave it blank and we date the match from the video instead: the day the camera recorded it when the file says so, otherwise the day you uploaded it. That covers most matches, but footage you uploaded weeks after playing can still land on the wrong day. See setting the match date to put those back where they belong.

TipsLink to this section

  • Keep your player setup the same so you're following the same player cleanly.
  • Check the match date when you're catching up on old footage. We pre-fill it from your video, but a backlog is exactly where that guess misses — and the date is what makes the timeline honest.
  • A few matches show you a direction, and more matches make it trustworthy.
  • If a number is heading the wrong way, open a recent match in Match Breakdown to see what's driving it.
