Description

In tennis, is it true that beginning to serve in a set gives an advantage? Can the outcome of a match be predicted? Which points are important, and do real champions win the big points? Do players serve optimally? Does 'winning mood' exist? The book answers such questions, demonstrating the power and beauty of statistical reasoning.
