Serve furthest from equilibrium

First-serve directions win at clearly different rates (p < 0.01), so the mix is off. Usage-weighted gap per 100 first serves.

  2. Roman Safiullin · ad court, more wide5.1
  3. Pierre Hugues Herbert · deuce court, more T5.0

  11. Jesper De Jong · deuce court, more T2.8
  12. Tommy Haas · ad court, more wide2.8

Adapts fastest

Most exploitable serve

Points per 100 first serves an optimal mix would win over the current one, allowing for returners reading a habit. Tested on matches they weren't fitted on, mixes picked this way win 0.33 per 100 on average.

  1. Pat Cash1.05
  2. Richard Krajicek0.90
  3. Roman Safiullin0.85

Long rallies

Execution from the ninth shot of a rally on, minus the player's own execution earlier in rallies, per 100 shots, against the same positions and from the same matches. Pulled toward the tour average in proportion to its uncertainty; hover for the 90% margin.
