Okay, so I wanted to keep better track of Elina Svitolina’s matches. I’m a big fan, and it’s sometimes tough to remember when and where she’s playing, and of course, how she did. So I decided to make a simple way to follow her schedule and results. Here’s how I did it, step-by-step.
Figuring Out What I Needed
First, I thought about what I really wanted. Basically, I needed:
- A list of her upcoming matches (the “schedule”).
- The results of her completed matches.
- Maybe opponent name.
Getting the Information
I started Looking around for reliable websites is key.
Keeping it Updated
This is the ongoing part. I try to check a few times a week, especially around tournaments. I usually do this:
- Look for recent results. I usually find these quickly.
- Update upcoming matches, I realized that schedules can change.
My Simple Tracking Method
I’m not a spreadsheet whiz, I just use a simple document!
I write down something like this:
- Tournament:WTA Finals
- Opponent: Iga Swiatek
- Result: 7-6,6-4(Lost)
- Tournament: Australian Open
- Opponent: Jessica Pegula
- Result: 6-3,2-6,6-1(Win)
And so on… I just add new entries as they happen.
I realized that any major changes (like a surprise injury or a schedule shift) are usually announced pretty widely, so I keep an eye out for those.
It’s not super fancy, but it works for me! I can quickly see when she’s playing next and how she’s been doing. It’s way better than trying to remember everything or searching every single time I want an update.
