Tennis Match History: ATP & WTA Player Results

Tennis Match History returns the most recent matches for any tennis players you name, one row per matche, newest first. It is built for AI agents, bettors, fantasy players and analysts who need a clean, structured tennis match history instead of copying tables by hand.

What does Tennis Match History do?

Tennis Match History looks up each name you give it, finds the right tennis player even when other sports have someone with the same name, and returns their latest matches with tournament, round, seeds, result, set-by-set score with tiebreaks, and sets won and lost.

• Type names in plain text (Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka); no IDs needed.
• Get recent form in one call: the newest matches first, across seasons when needed.
• Ask for many names in one run and get one combined table.
• Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or straight into your AI agent through MCP.

Who uses Tennis Match History?

• Betting and prediction-market research: check a player's recent form, three-set record and tiebreak results before a match market closes.
• Tennis media and fantasy: build form guides and head-to-head context for previews.

How much will Tennis Match History cost?

Tennis Match History uses pay-per-event pricing. At current Free-tier rates, the default 4 GB run-start charge is about $0.004, plus $0.001 per returned matche; 10 rows therefore cost about $0.014. Your plan tier and Apify's current rates may change the total. Check the Pricing tab and request only the rows you need.

Run it through the Apify API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/trovevault~tennis-match-history/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"players": ["Jannik Sinner", "Carlos Alcaraz"], "maxItems": 10}'

Limitations

• Singles only. Byes are skipped. Surface is not part of ESPN's data; use the tournament name to infer it.
• Data comes from ESPN's public sports data, so coverage and update timing follow ESPN and may lag the end of an event.
• Only completed matches are returned; scheduled ones are skipped.

Troubleshooting

• No rows returned: check the spelling or use an ESPN URL or ID. Some names are not present in ESPN's database, and upcoming matches are not included.
• Fewer rows than requested: the source may have fewer completed results for that name, season or competition.
• Some names failed: successful names are still returned. Check the RUN_SUMMARY key-value record for the per-name errors and retry only those names.
• Rows are missing from your existing dataset: confirm the datasetId belongs to a dataset you can write to. The run's default dataset is still populated separately.
