Okay, so I got into this whole “Emma Raducanu prediction” thing, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a rollercoaster. I started off pretty clueless, just thinking, “Hey, I’ll make some predictions about her next match!” No real plan, just vibes.
First Steps (aka Stumbling Around)
I started by, well, Googling. I looked up her recent matches, her wins and losses, who she played against – basically anything I could find. It was a mess. I had a bunch of browser tabs open, random articles, and stats that I didn’t really understand.
Getting (Slightly) Organized
Then, I thought, “Okay, I need to get a grip.” I opened a simple text document and started dumping everything in there. It was still chaotic, but at least it was all in one place. I made some bullet points:
- Recent match results
- Opponent info
- Any news about injuries or anything
- surface she be playing
The “Aha!” Moment (Sort Of)
After staring at this mess of information for a while, I realized I needed to focus. I decided to look at her performance on different court surfaces. I figured that might give me some clues, you know? Like, maybe she’s way better on grass than on clay. That simple!
Making the (Totally Unscientific) Prediction
So, I looked at the data, and I saw that she’d had some decent wins on hard courts recently. Her next match was also on a hard court. I thought “The data looks good”. Based on absolutely nothing but that, I made my prediction: she’d win her next match.
The Result (Drumroll Please…)
I was close! She did play well, She lost at last. It was super exciting to watch, even though my “prediction” was totally off.
Honestly, the whole thing was more about the process than the actual prediction. I learned a bit about tennis, I learned a bit about organizing my thoughts (still working on that), and I learned that predicting sports is HARD. But hey, it was fun!
