Title

Serving up some Grand Slam tennis statistics

Author(s)

Clarke, Stephen R.;  Norton, Pam

Abstract

Data from the 2000 Australian Tennis Open are used to measure the advantage of serving with new balls in both men’s and women’s singles. We discuss the main fea-tures of the men’s, women’s and mixed doubles at the Australian Open in 2001. Data from a variety of sources are used to compare the server’s advantage at Wimbledon, the French and the Australian Open.
