Various mathematical models of tennis have determined the probability of the superior player winning under different scoring systems (for example standard sets and tie-break sets). These models are all based on the assumption of independence (that the probability of winning a point is independent of the score within a game). This paper analysed tennis points played in Grand Slam singles tennis verifying the assumption of independence.
