Stats Perform’s official WTA tennis data to power Sportradar’s in-play tennis services
Stats Perform and Sportradar, two global providers of media and betting data, have agreed to partner in order to deliver official WTA tennis data, which will power Sportradar’s in-play tennis odds and trading services outside of the US.
Sportradar sports betting customers, who have obtained a Stats Perform WTA data licence, will have access to premium ultrafast in-play WTA tennis odds, powered by Stats Perform’s transformative new scout-collected detailed data or the umpire data feed.
The agreement between the sports data giants further broadens access to tennis betting experiences powered by official WTA data.
Stats Perform secured the exclusive official WTA data rights in November 2020 in a breakthrough six-year deal, simultaneously expanding its Watch&Bet video streaming service to cover every match on the women’s tennis tour for the first time.
Similarly, the addition of official WTA tennis data to power Sportradar’s portfolio of services is a first for its customers, bringing full official coverage of the top tier of women’s professional tennis alongside its other official tennis partnerships.
Stats Perform is committed to improving both the depth and the availability of official WTA data to help grow the profile of the WTA by giving more fans and bettors access to innovative and trusted products.
Andrew Ashenden, Stats Perform Chief Betting Officer, said: “Our ground-breaking approach to collecting and distributing high quality official WTA data as part of our exclusive agreement is not only broadening the appeal and accessibility for fans and bettors, but also making it more accessible to them. Our progressive deal with Sportradar exemplifies this.
David Lampitt, Managing Director Sports Content and Partnerships at Sportradar, said: “This deal delivers a great enhancement to our extensive portfolio of tennis content. But more than that, it demonstrates what can be achieved through a constructive and innovative commercial approach, even between fierce competitors.
“Collaborating with Stats Perform in this way improves our Live Odds and Managed Trading Services for WTA events and represents a significant development for the industry more broadly.”

Bacta Move April National Council Meeting from London to Leeds
Bacta has confirmed that it is moving its 21st April National Council meeting from London to Leeds with members invited to meet with the Council over lunch and participate in an informal Open Forum.
The initiative which is part of Bacta’s restructuring and modernisation programme voted on by the membership last year, provides an opportunity for the trade association to show how the National Council operates, provide analysis on the latest White Paper developments and canvass opinion on the key issues which are impacting members businesses.
Announcing the development National President John Bollom said: “Historically I think there was probably a degree of mystery surrounding the work of National Council and how it operated.
“The new National Council is very much a working board with individual members using their specialisms and skill-sets to deliver on behalf of Bacta and its members.
“This streamlined structure means that we are much more agile as an organisation with the capacity to respond quickly to the issues of the day something which has been particularly important in relation to the White Paper.”
He added: “The new Bacta is very much a listening organisation and the Open Forum will provide an opportunity to not only update on developments impacted by the White Paper but also to identify the issues which are important to members and which will help us to define the priorities moving forward.”
