Okay, so I’ve been trying to get better at predicting sports outcomes, just for fun, you know? And I saw this tennis match coming up – Ben Shelton versus Mattia Bellucci. I figured, “Why not give it a shot?”
First, I looked up both players. I wanted to know their rankings, recent performance, and stuff like that. It’s like getting the basic info before you make any kind of guess, right?
Then, I tried to find their head-to-head record. Like, have they played each other before? Who won? That can give you a clue, sometimes. But honestly, I couldn’t find much. Maybe they haven’t played each other a lot, I don’t know.
Next I check news.
- check news about Ben Shelton.
- check news about Mattia Bellucci.
So, I dug around for any news or articles about the match. Sometimes you’ll find out about an injury, or maybe a player’s just not feeling it that day. That kind of thing can totally sway a match.
My “Expert” Analysis (LOL)
I looked at their playing styles, too. Is one guy a big server? Does the other one have crazy good returns? I’m no tennis pro, but I figured it’s worth thinking about.
After all that, I made my prediction. It was more of an educated guess, really. I mean, who knows what’ll actually happen on the court? It’s sports, anything can happen!
Finally, I wrote down my prediction and why I made it. It’s just a way to keep track of my “process” and see if I get any better at this over time. It’s all just for kicks, anyway!
