So thats the new WTA, phone photoshoots

 

me each time I look at the scoreboard:

 

New look, same bugs:

 

I can't watch many full match replays on WTA TV without the damn streams looping back to the start. Been happening since they updated to the 'new & improved' WTA . I'm in the US so I have to use a VPN but have Fiber Internet. Am I the only one seeing this?

Yes, the same for me on some matches

 

Well one good thing is that H2Hs between players are finally indexing at the top of Google search.

Though from the link you can't tell which players are getting compared unlike ATP (though it does direct you to the correct H2H).

 

The AAAAACCCCEEEE thing that comes up on the score bug thing now irks me.

 

It's actually helpful if I'm scoring point by point and aren't sure if the receiver actually touched the ball as it went past. I agree, though, that the way it's done now is cringeworthy.

 

Recent changes, revamped new look, they really went all in on rounded corners.

^ It's a significantly worse visual experience than the previous style/interface.
And that was entirely predictable, of course.
The LEAST they could do is give the option of a dark version. But they don't.
They simply don't care at all...

 

.

Which match is the second WTA match on GrandStand???
Is the schedule to be followed vertically or horizontally???
It's truly unbelievable!

 

Aargh, this will mean all my data scrappers will break when I attempt to get the next lot of matches. Even getting to the stats now require more page scrolling and you have to click view more tab to display the important numbers.

Still lacking attention to detail on match information on the scores tab, qualifying matches don't list what Q round it is so if you really needed that info you have to cross reference with the Q draw. Just more clicks for less information.

 

I don't know if I'm missing something but I can no longer see the actual match history when looking up the H2Hs.

Now the number is there but not the match scorelines?

 

TC Plus uploads full match replays usually within minutes after it’s finished. Why does it take so long for WTA TV to do this when it’s the same damn feed?

It's horizontally, the same as on WTA TV.

But have you looked at the doubles draw?

No initials anywhere. How are you supposed to know which Kichenok twin is playing, and is this Qinwen or Saisai partnering Xiyu, Xinyu or Yafan? If you hover your mouse over the name you do see which one it is, but I assume that's not an option for people looking on their phones.

Which three person focus group within their pool of interns came up with this?

 

Positive feedback so far.

 

Gracheva is 4-0 , it is in the screenshot but yes not clear

 

I went to check the H2H section… laughable. The list of players is a mess—am I the only one who thought Svito and Muchy look the same there? Some avatars have photos, some don’t. What’s the logic?

And as for the H2H part itself—real mess.

 

All the scores of current tournaments which were at the top of every page on the website are now no longer there, as well.
It just keeps getting worse and worse...

 

They use to show walkover results on the scores tab so at least you can see who pulled out. Now I can't even see the Jabeur vs Kvitova result, it takes more time to just find simple things, I might decide to switch to using flashscore, sofascore type websites.

Can’t believe you’ve been suffering this long without Flashscore—welcome to the 21st century!

 

WTA has messed up the Doubles Rankings Page today (19 May), starting from doubles ranking #95.

WTA Doubles Rankings | Current Women’s Tennis Doubles Standings

Explore the official WTA doubles rankings to see where your favorite teams stand. Get up-to-date women’s tennis standings and player stats in one place.

Even worse the doubles rankings pdf misses many player entries starting form page 1. The May 19 pdf at this moment has only 23 pages of players. The May 5-pdf had 36 pages.

how slow it is! it's like going back to when you had to plug in the phone socket to connect to the internet

 

holy rounded rectangles, this is so ugly

this is like something i made on my own with no feedback or practice in a while

 

It is difficult to find how to access the list of all tournaments now, whereas before, it was very straightforward.

Also, the scores at the top of the page are no longer there - that is a very significant omission, as they were very useful and practical.

Also, in the Order Of Play for each tournament, the order of the matches is definitely far from obvious - is the order of the matches to be read vertically, or horizontally? It would be extremely easy and simple to enumerate them.

 

Look at the two week tournaments. You can't find the results for qualifying or the first day or two of main draw action because they only have room to put 10 dates in their box! I use that information (scores, tie-breaks and match duration) for ongoing projects, and have always updated it at the end of each event. Now I can't do so without referring to one or more other websites which DO have everything I need. Someone needs to remind me to do it day by day for the next two week monstrosity!

Something else I can't stand is how parts of the pages slide over the top of what's underneath. Why the hell couldn't it be locked in place like any normal internet page, so that someone looking at it can just scroll up or down like usual?

 

I just love their attention to detail.

 

Who the heck updated the thread title? I hope it wasn't that stupid AI fora bot.

 

H2H match history is back.

 

At last. Also not sure if it’s been noticed or not' but it is possible to check year-end rankings now (stats->YTD->pick); the old graphs still nowhere to be found' but it's still very handy when updating Wikipedia stats tables.. much better than manually parsing the rankings for each season.
