Using serve vs return map on a prop

  1. Find both players

    Say Lanlana Tararudee (76.5% hold, 40.3% break) meets Oleksandra Oliynykova (62.5% hold, 54.3% break). One is a big server, the other a returner.

  2. Compare the return with the average

    Oleksandra Oliynykova breaks 15.4 points more often than the 38.9% average. Take that off Lanlana Tararudee's 76.5% hold and you get about 61.1%. A rough read, not a model.

  3. Use it on a prop

    Fewer holds for the server mean more break points and shorter service games, which matters for break points won, games won and aces. Check the ace matchups page for the ace side of the same pairing.

  4. Then check the surface

    Switch to a surface view. Hold and break rates move a lot between clay and grass, and the all-surface number can hide it. Today's line and the hit rate against it are in PickFinder.

How this is counted

Counts finished singles matches, Nov 2, 2025 to Nov 2, 2026, the same 52-week span the rankings use. Hold % is service games won divided by service games played. Break % is return games won divided by the opponent's service games, with tiebreaks left out of both, the same way the Game Lines cards count them. Retired matches and walkovers are left out. Only WTA 125 matches count here, qualifying included. Main tour matches have their own view. A player needs 15+ matches to appear. Hard includes indoor hard. The dashed lines are the average of the players shown (63.4% hold, 41.7% break), and the four types are named from those lines.
