View Full Version : TennisWIMB. I don't understand tennis, but why does Murray hit a 2nd serve instead of another 1st

serve?

He got 63% of 1st serves in, of which he won 81%.

So when he ****ted it as hard as poss, he won 51% of the points.

When he hit his girly 2nd serve, he only won 44%.

So he'd have been better off just hitting a 2nd serve again. Yes, he'd have doubled faulted just under 40% of the time, but he'd have won 81% of the points when he didn't.

So why hit a 2nd serve that only wins 44% of the time, instead of another first serve that wins 51% of the time?

I don't get it.

Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I don't understand tennis.

fine, then you should just stick to ****ting it as hard as poss on the 2nd serve too?
