To find something truly surprising or counterintuitive, I need to look for patterns that violate common sports assumptions. Let me explore game-level scoring patterns — specifically, whether matches that go to more games (4 or 5 sets) show unexpected winner characteristics. I'll check if there's a paradox where losing more individual games correlates with winning the match, or if comeback patterns are unusually strong.",
