Introduction
The Tennis API provides real-time scoring, point-by-point match scoring (when available), and an array of supplementary data.
Over 4,000 competitions are covered and available in one package. Select the Tennis package in our Coverage Matrix for competitions and data offered.
The API is consistent in structure, format, and behavior with the other General Sport APIs. Primary feeds will return seasons, competitions, player data, and real-time scores.
Additional feeds provide a host of complementary stats, including:
- World and race rankings
- Win probabilities for each match
- Player profiles
- Historical results
- Post-match corrections
- In-depth match statistics
Real-time customers are also offered two delivery Push Feeds to enhance speed.
An extended Probabilities package is also offered. This add-on includes live match probability updates and season outrights.
Authentication is required for all API calls.
API Map
To best utilize the Tennis API, you will need several parameters to create your API calls. The map below illustrates how you can obtain the parameters you need.
The primary feeds require only a date or human-readable parameters to call the endpoints. Those feeds provide Sport Event Ids, Competitor Ids, or Season Ids which can be used to generate the match, team, and season feeds.

To find the win probabilities for a match, given the date:
- Call the Daily Summaries for the day the sport event takes place and find the Season Id for the chosen sport event
- Make note of the Sport Event Id for the given sport event
- Call the Season Probabilities using the Season Id
- Find Sport Event Id within the results and locate the outcome probability
The probability of a win for each participant is displayed.
Failover Info
If our scout feed goes down or becomes unavailable, Sportradar takes over Live Data Entry (LDE) to provide a failover.
In case of a failover, we follow one of the following scenarios:
- Continue point-by-point coverage – but lose service outcomes. During the failover we cannot provide data related to service outcome. The following data will be unavailable: aces, double faults, service faults, and successful service outcome. Those statistics will be verified and updated post-match.
- If point-by-point coverage is not possible – we will update game-by-game, post-match. During the failover we cannot provide point-by-point coverage and service outcomes. The following data will be unavailable: aces, double faults, service faults, and successful service outcome. Missing point-by-point coverage and statistics will be verified and updated post-match. Tie-break score will not be displayed. Game-by-game coverage will continue as each match ends.
