never know why the receiving player gets the benefit of the doubt in terms of odds in that situation.
why dont you take advantage of it? since you disagree with it and you believe odds should go in a certain way, exploit the error and make £££

15-15 is a slightly more advantageous situation for the receiver than 0-0.
(I'm assuming the game to which you refer was Robredo's service game.)

because in every game, the server has a higher chance of winning the game (due to the nature that he is serving, this is also backed up in statistics, rarely do players win more than 50% of return games)...being at 15-15 means that is being defied and the with concern to that game, the returner is doing better than he should, because it is 15-15, and not what it is expected to be (30-15) or (15-0)

The server is more likely to win any single point, so if the players are level on points at any point in a game then the receiver has outperformed the mean expectation of points won for them at that stage of the game.

Yes, which favours the receiver. If games were first to 100 points, how many breaks would we see?

indeed, they are both closer to winnin the game, but the returner is not supposed to win the game as many times as the server, he is supposed to win 20%-30% of return games, sometimes even less...not 50%, by winning 1 of 2 points (15-15), he has won 50% of points while returning, going against the trend

errors. he has beaten himself and i said it from the start. he has the skill to rape this tommy, but he also has the self destruction factor...self destruction it is for today. both of last games he should have broken to be fair

yeas and therefore there is bigger chance for returner to break. if you had odds 1.1 on server, its not the case that returner wins only 10 % of the points
winning point stats are much closer then if only one point decides of the further score outcome there is more even chance to win for both players than say pre match. hope you understand
