Wait — tennis has games and matches? It can be hard to keep up, but IBM Cloud makes it possible with applications like SlamTracker. Thanks to IBM Cloud, fan-friendly predictive analytics are at your fingertips.

1. When someone invites you to a game-watch party, you think:

"Why yes, I will come eat your food, drink your drinks, and browse Twitter."

2. Then everyone is talking about players and stats and rankings and you're overwhelmed.

3. When you try to talk shop, you end up mixing terminology from various sports.

4. Asking why the game stopped is a recipe for a complicated lecture on rules...

5. ...usually followed by an addendum explaining why that rule actually doesn't apply to this hyper-specific situation.

6. You think it's just a coincidence when all tennis players wear white.

"Another one! This is really odd."

7. And baseball hand signals are a complete and total mystery.

8. It never ceases to amaze you how emotional people get.

"You came to watch the game; I came to watch you."

9. You've definitely experienced DRS: Delayed Reaction Syndrome.

10. And sometimes you just start yelling insults in the stands in order to fit in.

11. You definitely thought it was history month or something when both Vikings and 49ers were trending on Twitter.
