How the game total projections work
A tennis total is a structure question: two big servers produce long, tiebreak-heavy sets and high game counts, while a lopsided matchup ends quickly. The model projects totals from surface-adjusted serve and return strength for both players, the probability of the match staying competitive, and the expected set distribution. The output per match is an over/under probability against the standard games line, shown on the board with a confidence rating.
Why unders have been the model's edge
Backtests over the model's resolved picks found a clear asymmetry: high-confidence unders hit far above their price, while overs and match-winner edges did not clear the vig. The reason is structural. The market prices totals from serve reputation and headline names, while the model prices them from the actual probability of a rout, and routs happen more often than casual pricing assumes. That is why the board's picks lean under when the model's number is strong.
Using the daily board
The board shows the model's strongest total for today with its probability; further matches unlock with a free account. Totals discipline mirrors the backtest: trust high-confidence numbers, respect that a retired player or a rain delay can void the best projection, and prefer surface transitions early in a swing when market prices lag player-surface reality.

Frequently asked questions
What are AI tennis props?
Model projections for tennis side markets, led by match game totals: an over/under probability against the standard games line for every ATP and WTA match, built from surface-adjusted serve and return data.
Why does the board favor unders?
Because the model's tracked results do. High-confidence unders have historically hit well above their implied price, while overs and match-winner edges did not clear the bookmaker's margin. The board simply follows the validated edge.
Does this cover both ATP and WTA?
Yes. Both tours are projected daily with separate surface-adjusted ratings per player, and the board labels each match accordingly.
What can void a totals projection?
Retirements and walkovers are the main risk: a projection assumes a completed match. Late withdrawals and extreme conditions (long rain delays, surface changes) also add variance the confidence rating cannot fully capture.
