The big difference - gone are the lists of players and tournaments that took so much time to download. Instead you'll just key in just enough characters to identify the player or tournament you're interested in. For example:

For Indian Wells the space and 'w' are required because there used to be a tournament in Indianapolis. And we still go by 'Montreal/Toronto' for the annual Canadian event and 'montr' is required to get its stats ('monte' will return the Monte Carlo info).
Other Changes
The entire app is presented in Portrait mode - so no more twisting your wrist to view the data. Also - Predictive Analytics: through the years of analyzing the use of Version 1 we were able to detect the trends pertaining to which stats the users were most interested in. So with this version you now will get a number of stats downloaded after you press 'Go' and be able to quickly go through the screens, as opposed to kicking off a request for each screen's data.
Player Data
Then bar charts for Record by Year (this is a scrollable view); By Surface; another pie chart with career and year to date Tiebreak data. This is followed by the list of matches for the current year (with the option after it loads to display matches from previous years - just key in the 4 digit year and press 'Go'). This is followed by the career Ranking history. We use the Best/Worst ranking during a year (as opposed to Year End which favors some players over others).
Then comes one of if not THE most important stat - Win/Loss percentage after winning and (scroll down) losing the 1st set. This is a huge differentiator betwen the legends and the rest of the tour players. Next up is information about a player's performance at a specific event - number of appearances, wins, losses, titles, and best result and year. Next comes Head to Head record - key a few characters for another player and press 'Go' - not only do you get the Wins but also the Head to Head Tiebreaker data AND their last 10 encounters.
Rounding out the player data - 5 set record, record by round, record versus Top 10 players (another stat which really shows the difference between players), Deciding Set record for both the career and current year, miscellaneous data including longest Win and Loss Streaks and first Pro Level event. Finally a list of results over the last 52 weeks.
For tournaments, the data is mostly what you'd expect: a review of previous winners of the title, results from the most recent year. The Tour stats area has seen many improvements to show Top 10 listings in a number of key stats - wins in the current year, career titles, record after winning or losing the 1st, Tiebreak percentage, career record versus the Top 10. And weekly updates to the Top 20 including movement information.
Notes
The database does not contain results from exhibitions (Laver Cup or NextGen Finals).
