Drop shots

Chart of the share of shots that are drop shots on hard courts and on clay for the ATP top 20 plus Jodar, Tien and Fonseca. Bublik uses them most (5.8% on hard, 8.5% on clay) and every player hits more on clay except Vacherot. Sinner wins 60% of drop-shot points on hard and 66% on clay; Alcaraz 59% and 60%.

On clay, softer hands pay

Every Top 20 player hits more drop shots on clay than hard courts except Vacherot.
