tennis-data
ATP and WTA tennis data via ESPN public endpoints — tournament scores, season calendars, player rankings, player profiles, and news. Zero config, no API keys. Use when: user asks about tennis scores, match results, tournament draws, ATP/WTA rankings, tennis player info, or tennis news. Don't use when: user asks about other sports — use football-data (soccer), nfl-data (NFL), nba-data (NBA), wnba-data (WNBA), nhl-data (NHL), mlb-data (MLB), golf-data (golf), cricket-data (cricket), cfb-data (college football), cbb-data (college basketball), or fastf1 (F1). For betting odds use polymarket or kalshi. For news use sports-news. Don't use for live point-by-point data — scores update after each set/match.

What this skill does
Tennis Data (ATP + WTA) Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, ID conventions, and data shapes. Quick Start Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues: CRITICAL: Before Any Query CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify: The tour parameter is specified (atp or wta) — there is no default. Year is derived from the system prompt's currentDate — never hardcoded. The tour Parameter Most commands require --tour=atp or --tour=wta: ATP: Men's professional tennis tour WTA: Women's professional tennis tour If the user doesn't specify, ask which tour or show both by calling the command twice. Commands Command Description --- --- getscoreboard Live/recent tournament scores for a tour getrankings ATP or WTA player rankings getcalendar Full season tournament calendar getplayerinfo Individual tennis player profile getnews Tennis news articles See references/api-reference.md for full parameter lists and return shapes. Workflows Live Tournament Check 1. getscoreboard --tour=<atp wta> 2. Present current matches by round. 3. For player info, use getplayerinfo --playerid=<id>. Rankings Lookup 1. getrankings --tour=<atp wta> --limit=20 2. Present rankings with points and trend. Season Calendar 1. getcalendar --tour=<atp wta> --year=<year> 2. Filter for specific tournament.
