Reading a Match Row
A LIVE row is the densest screen on LSM — it packs round, names, odds, scores and serve stats into a single line. Learn it once here; every tab reuses the same columns.
Round and time
The first two columns. Round uses short codes — Q1/Q2 for qualifying rounds,
R1/R2 for main-draw rounds, QF quarter-final, S semi-final, F final. Full
list in the Glossary.
Time only shows in the Scheduled Matches tab and is the scheduled start time in your own local time — automatically converted; nothing to set.
Player names and serve-ball
Each player's name links to their page on the stats site (opens in a new tab). On a finished match the winner's name is bold.
The small serve-ball icon between the names shows whose serve it is right now.
Odds
Decimal prices per player. Lower odds = favourite. Where a Betfair market is linked, the odds are clickable — that opens the market. Hover to see the total matched (liquidity), a rough measure of how active that market is.
Not every match has a linked market; when there's no link, odds show as plain text.
Set scores and current-game score
Set scores appear left to right as they're completed. A small superscript on a set score (e.g. 6⁷) is the tiebreak result for that set — the superscript is the tiebreak score of the player who lost the set, not an extra game.
The current-game score (e.g. 0–15) sits to the left of the set column.
Live serve stats
Six columns appear on every LIVE row. Hover 1st W or 2nd W for the raw point count behind each percentage.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Aces | Aces served this match |
| DF | Double faults this match |
| 1st % | Percentage of first serves that landed in |
| 1st W | Percentage of first-serve points won |
| 2nd W | Percentage of second-serve points won |
| BPS | Break points saved, shown as a percentage with a ratio tooltip |
Colour coding gives a quick read: green = strong for that stat right now, red = weak. The thresholds behind the colours are not published — read the colour, not the exact digits.
The thresholds are not the same for men's and women's matches. The same number can be green in one and not in the other, by design — typical serve stats differ between tours.
Alerts column
LIVE and My Matches rows have an Alerts column at the far right. Alerts appear here when a key moment occurs. See Alerts & Signals for the full catalog.
Notes
Colour coding is a directional read, not a precise grade. Read green = strong, red = weak for that stat in this match right now.
Men's and women's matches use different colour thresholds — judge by the colour, not by a fixed number you have in mind.
The tiebreak superscript (e.g. 6⁷) shows the tiebreak score of the player who lost the set, so
6⁷means that set was won 7–6 in the tiebreak.Stats columns show on LIVE and Finished rows. Scheduled rows show no live stats.
Tips & Tricks
- Hover 1st W or 2nd W for the raw count behind each percentage.
- Hover the odds to see matched liquidity where available.
- A bold name on a finished match is the winner — handy for quick result scanning.
- Click clickable odds to open the Betfair market for that player.
- The tiebreak superscript is the only visual difference between a normal set score and a tiebreak result — look for it on close sets.
FAQ
Why is one player's name in bold? On a finished match, bold marks the winner. During a live match neither name is bold.
What do the green / amber / red stat numbers mean? A traffic-light read of that stat right now: green = strong, red = weak. It's a quick glance cue — don't compare the exact digits across matches.
Are the colour thresholds the same for men's and women's matches? No. Men's and women's matches use different thresholds, because typical serve numbers differ between tours. Judge a number by its colour, not against a fixed value.
Why can I click some odds but not others? Clickable odds link to a live Betfair market. When no linkable market is available, odds appear as plain text.
What does the liquidity figure on hover mean? The total money currently matched on that selection — a rough guide to how active the market is. More matched usually means you can trade more easily.
What do the round codes (Q1, R1, QF, S, F) mean? Standard tournament stages — qualifying (Q1/Q2), main-draw rounds (R1, R2…), quarter-final (QF), semi-final (S/SF), final (F). Full list in the Glossary.
Why does a row have no stat numbers yet? The match hasn't started, or there isn't enough play yet for reliable figures. Numbers and colours fill in on their own as the match progresses.
