Wimbledon might be known for its grass courts and tradition, but behind the scenes it’s one of the most data-intensive events in global sport.
From serve speeds and rally lengths to AI-generated insights, the volume and complexity of data being tracked, shared, and reconciled is staggering.
And for those of us working in fund operations, it’s a useful parallel.
Each year, Wimbledon produces:
Over 2.7 million data points across all matches
Shot-by-shot inputs from Hawk-Eye and manual scoring
Real-time feeds into apps, broadcaster overlays, and betting platforms
AI models layered on top, including IBM’s “Win Probability” and “Match Insights”
That’s just for one tournament.
Each point averages around three shots. A single match includes approximately 150–190 points. Multiply that by hundreds of matches, and the reconciliation challenge quickly grows into the millions.
Every system needs to stay aligned
Broadcasters require up-to-the-second scores and stats
Fans expect consistent data across apps and screens
Betting markets and AI commentary rely on synchronisation
If one feed is even slightly off, the result is obvious — and damaging.
Wimbledon’s data environment isn’t so different from a fund’s operational stack:
Multiple upstream sources: administrators, custodians, counterparties
Critical need for accuracy: NAVs, transactions, regulatory filings
Real-time expectations from clients, auditors, and regulators
Without reconciliation, things go out of sync. Small mismatches compound. Trust is lost.
The challenge isn’t just volume — it’s fragmentation:
Different systems
Different formats
Different timings
To make sense of it, you need a way to unify and normalise the data, surface exceptions, and maintain a consistent, reliable source of truth.
That’s exactly what Fund Recs was built to do.
Wimbledon shows what happens when complex data is managed well:
Clean inputs
Aligned systems
Confidence in every result
The expectations in fund operations are no different. When accuracy matters, reconciliation isn’t just a task — it’s a foundation.
