Output:

This program simulates a series of tennis matches between player

"A" and player "B". The abilities of each player are

represented by percentage chance of winning a volley. The

percentages add up to 100.

Game

As in real tennis, each game is played through 4 points

(Love, 15, 30, 40, game) where the player must win by two.

Players can score on either serve.

Set

A set is won when a player reaches 6 victorious games, and has a

lead of two. If for example, sets reach 6-5, the players will play

another round. If the score reaches 6-6, there will be a

tiebreaking game.

Match

A Match is won when a player reaches his/her 3rd victorious set.

No winning by two, no tie-breaker, for the purposes of this simulation

What is the percent prob. player A wins a volley? 50

How many games to simulate? 10

Games simulated:  10

Wins for A: 7 (70.0%)

Wins for B: 3 (30.0%)
