(The ATP has Agassi leading 89-60 because they counted aces and df's twice).

Agassi made 40 of 63 first serves, or 63%.
Rafter made 41 of 72 first serves, or 57%.


Agassi won 49 of 63 points on serve: 38 of 40 on first (95%), 11 of 23 on second (48%).

Rafter won 39 of 72 points on serve: 29 of 41 on first (71%), 10 of 31 on second (32%).

(One point won by Agassi, on Rafter’s serve, is missing on my dvd. I have Rafter going to second serve on it.)

Agassi's 95% success rate on points started with his first serve is the highest percentage we've gotten when we've calculated this stat ourselves.
