  • Probability of Winning and Match Length in Tiebreak Ten Tennis Peter
    Probability of winning and match length in Tiebreak Ten tennis Peter O’Donoghue and Emma Simmonds Cardiff School of Sport, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Cyncoed Campus, Cardiff, CF23 6XD. Abstract New formats of tennis have been developed to make matches more exciting and unpredictable than the traditional format of the game. The purpose of the current investigation was to compare and the probability of winning between Tiebreak Ten matches and two other formats of the game; Fast4 tennis and traditional tennis. A probabilistic model of winning Tiebreak Ten tennis matches was created and compared with existing models of Fast4 and traditional tennis matches. This analysis was done for a full range of probabilities of players winning points when they are serving. This involved 1000 simulations for each pair of probabilities for two players serving for multiple set matches in Fast4 tennis and traditional tennis. The probability of players beating higher ranked opponents was found to be higher in Tiebreak Ten matches than in Fast4 and traditional tennis matches. This confirms the claim that Tiebreak Ten matches are less predictable and hence more exciting than Fast4 and traditional tennis matches. Key words: simulation, racket sports, rule changes, probability, modelling. Introduction Many rules for sports were developed in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Many of these rules and regulations have gradually changed as sports have evolved in the years since. There are various motives for changing rules such as maintaining competitiveness, improving the safety of athletes, accommodating improving player performance, attracting participants and spectators, adapting sports to children as well as commercial and media pressures (Williams, 2008; Arias, Argudo, & Alonso, 2011).
