The correlation between serve success and location of the server

Jim Stone describes the correlation between where the server lines up on the back line and the serving success. What we should take from this: Serving location matters! The numbers show that there's a significant drop in side out efficiency from the opposing team when the server serves down the line. However, it's also harder for the server to get a good serve down the line since there's less distance to travel and you may be flirting with the sideline; it's a balance between reward and risk! A second takeaway is that serving from the middle of the court is a less lethal location to serve from and the side out percentages are higher.
