From: Early career wins and tournament prestige characterize tennis players’ trajectories
Analysis of players’ attendance (left panels) and first win (right panels). A Centrality trend for the first ten tournaments attended per group of players. B Centrality trend of the first match win within the first ten tourneys per group of players. C Fractions of players who participated in a tournament of a given level within the first ten competitions. Bars of the same color, each identifying a given group of players, add to 1. D Fractions of players who have their first win in a tournament of a given level within their first ten competitions. Again, bars of the same color sum up to 1. E Graphical representation of the distribution of the centrality of the first ten tournaments for each group of players. F Graphical representation of the distribution of the centrality of the first win for each group of players. The dashed (dashed-dotted) lines refer to the high (low) level threshold of tourney splitting. The plots show that top players (in red) behave differently from the others only when considering their first match win
