Here is a collection of scripts which I used in sed to assist with some articles. I use sed under Windows. Scripts can be easily adapted for Linux users, it is probably not difficult to adapt them for usage with other tools based on regular expressions.

I copy the data from the pdf-file on the WTA site http://www.wtatennis.com/SEWTATour-Archive/Rankings_Stats/match_stats_2015.pdf to get the following file and name it aces.txt. I add the newline at the end.

1 PLISKOVA , KAROLINA 53 7
2 KVITOVA , PETRA 48 8
3 ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA , B 33 7
4 MUGURUZA , GARBINE 27 3
5 WILLIAMS , VENUS 26 5
6 VANDEWEGHE , COCO 24 3
7 IVANOVIC , ANA 23 4
8 WATSON , HEATHER 23 5
9 GOERGES , JULIA 22 3
10 KEYS , MADISON 22 4

After running urobaces.bat I get the file which renders like this. (I have to remove extra char added at the end of file when joinging the files together.)

EDIT: I don't know why the table does not render here and is placed at the bottom of the page instead, but the same code works fine here.

ACES
#	Player	Aces	Matches
1	Karolína Plíšková	53	7

I put the scripts also on my website: http://msleziak.com/temp/wiki/001stats.zip

urobaces.bat:

I have made some scripts which take to partially automatize creation of a draw for tennis tournament (and filling in players' names, but not results). I will copy it here when I have more time.
