Experience

All Open Era Tennis Grand Slam Games

https://www.behance.net/gallery/4244447/Todos-os-jogos-de-Grand-Slam-da-era-aberta-do-tennis
The attached infographic shows a set of names listed in a circular way and ordered by age. This set contains all the players who have participated at least once in any edition of a major tennis tournament, such as the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, or U.S. Open, since 1968. Above each name is the number of Grand Slam victories for each player throughout his career. Each arc between two labels represents a match between the two players and the arc's color corresponds to the tournament where the clash occurred. This type of visualization shows some interesting information like a number of short arcs. When the players are organized by birth, the infographic indicates that players compete more with people of their own generation than with people of other generations.
