Imagine
working as little as you can, as fast as you can, and still being at the top of
the world. Many professional tennis players do this every day and achieve a
living most people dream about obtaining. Professional tennis players spend
their life working on technique and strength to perform at the highest level.
Their job is to win every point as fast as they can while exerting as little
effort as possible. The question is, “Is this a winning strategy?” Can math
demonstrate that this is a good game plan? In this paper, we dive deeper into
the highest level of tennis and see if there is evidence to demonstrate that
working less than your competitors can pay dividends.
