Big 3 tennis statistics and player comparisons

Overview

An interactive tennis data story with player profiles, head-to-head comparisons, career timelines, and surface insights. Designed and developed as an editorial website rather than a conventional dashboard.

Context

The era is usually reduced to a Grand Slam count. I wanted to show the shape of each career: rivalries, surfaces, timelines, and the moments where their paths crossed.

Design approach

Each player has a distinct color identity, while bold sports-editorial typography keeps the data energetic. The charts and timelines were built from structured data without a charting library.

The era at a glance

The homepage places the three careers beside one another before visitors move into individual profiles and rivalries.

A clear route into each career

The player index gives the headline comparison first, then opens a dedicated profile for each athlete.
