Percentage of forehands to backhands

[Gram Parsons]

Has anyone seen any figures/stats of the numbers of forehands compared with backhands that pros hit in matches.

And if so post me a link?

I wondered if more forehands were hit because that tends to be a stronger shot, or more backhands were hit because opponets hit to the weakness.

I also am interested to know if it changes drastically depending on the surface.

According to the ITF, 75% of all shots are forehands and serves. Just notes from a lecture, no link but I am sure you can find is somewhere.
