New feature of individual Estimated Dynamic NTRP Rating Reports - Record when favored or underdog

I generate a fair number of Estimated Dynamic NTRP Rating Reports for folks and am fortunate to get a lot of positive feedback on them.  I'm always looking for ways to make the report more useful and valuable and just added a new feature I think everyone will like.

Sometimes I run across a player that wins a lot, but their rating hasn't gone up much.  The typical reason for this is their scores are close and/or they are playing against lower rated opponents and the player is supposed to win.

I added some stats a couple months ago to show what the average NTRP level and average dynamic rating is of the opponents and this is useful for those wanting that detail, but a simpler way of looking at it is to see what one's record is when favored in a match and what the record is when the underdog.

So, I've added this as another of the summary stats I provide.  Here is an example of the section with records, the new items in bold.

Match Record: 17-8
Singles Record: 3-1
Doubles Record: 14-7
Adult 18&Over Match Record: 4-1
Adult 40&Over Match Record: 9-6
Adult 55&Over Match Record: 4-1
4.0 Match Record: 13-7
8.0 Match Record: 3-0
9.0 Match Record: 1-1
Favored Match Record: 12-5
Underdog Match Record: 5-3

This player had a good record and we can see they won most of the time when they were favored, but did have five losses in this situation.  But they impressively had a 5-3 record when an underdog so they pulled some upsets and that is why they were bumped up.

You can see the full report for this player here.

What do you think?  Is this useful to see?
