So I recently found this GitHub repository that contains CSV files for the data from the ATP website:

• https://github.com/serve-and-volley/atp-world-tour-tennis-data

The CSV files currently in that repo has data from 1877-2016. I also wanted the 2017 data, so I downloaded the Python scripts and scraped that data myself, and then loaded all the CSV files into a local PostgreSQL database for my querying needs.

• Tournaments data (1877-2017): 4,407 records
• Match scores data (1877-2017): 188,384 records
  
• Match stats data (1991-2017): 91,956 records
  
• Rankings data (1973-2017): 2,606,950 records
  
• Players vital stats data (1877-2017): 10,912 records

After spending some time browsing through the data, I noticed the ATP website is missing A LOT of data, and also some of the data on the site is just either wrong or messed up, for example check out this ATP match stats page:

• http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/scores/2016/96/MS036/match-stats

Who knows the extent of how messed up is the rest of the ATP data?

From 1877-1967 the ATP website has records of the match scores for the Grand Slam events, for example:

  http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/scores/archive/wimbledon/540/1877/results
