The following table shows the average set result after each specific
preceding set result and tells you the probability for this set being won after winning
the preceding set. There is an interesting trend:
Set succ. set succ. set won
6-0 5.40-3.91 70.8%
6-1 5.37-4.15 68.3%
6-2 5.35-4.17 66.9%
6-3 5.18-4.45 61.6%
6-4 5.16-4.51 60.4%
7-5 5.19-4.43 60.2%
7-6 5.13-4.64 57.5%
The tighter a set is won, the tighter the succeeding set and the
lower the probability that it is also won by the winner of the preceding
set.
