    I don’t think all game points are big points. I think only 40-30, or ad-ins are big game points. I never see a fist pump to make the score 40-15, but often see it when the returner gets a game to deuce, ergo not a big point to hold at love or 40-15.

    Yes…every woman on the WTA who isn’t Serena, Masha or Vika has to “work harder” to win vs those girls. You don’t need stats to figure that one out lol.
