In singles, with a decent serve, the server can control court
position and is in charge of the point for the most part. How
this translates in wins, I don't know. Post 1 still needs to win
7 straight to start and there are too many odd factors in jai
alai that work against this. I can see post 1 finishing in the
money (place, show) a greater amount of times in singles, than
doubles..
In doubles, there are 3 bad things that can happen to the server,
Overserve, underserve, and getting picked and put away.. I see
the receiving team with a clear advantage.
But once the receiving team wins the point then advantage over
so in reality no team really has the advantage for longer then
1 point.
Wouldn't it be cool if the winning team of a point got to choose
whether to serve or receive serve for the next point. I bet in
singles, the player will always choose to serve and in doubles
90% of the time will choose to receive.
