The chapter zooms in on the question whether players perform differently at specific points or games. Do real champions win the big points? Is it an advantage to serve the first game in a set? Finally, if a player wins the toss, should he or she select to serve in the first game of the match?

Keywords:   identical distribution, big points, breakpoints, serving first, the toss
