Percentage Tennis
Percentage tennis is the strategy of playing high-percentage shots: crosscourt over down-the-line, deep over short, high-margin over low-margin. The goal is to make fewer unforced errors than the opponent, not to hit spectacular winners. Statistical analysis shows crosscourt shots win more points per attempt than down-the-line.
