In Table 12, mean usage rate = (1/tactic type) × 100%. For instance, in the present study, the number of tactics for matches between right-handed male players in the serving round was 8633, which was 303 tactic types, and the mean usage rate was 0.33%, meaning that every tactic was used 28.49 times on average
