Happy Birthday, davisti (Thursday) Re(1): High Cesta To Txanika: Dania's Most Underrated Pelotari

This might seem crazy, but one of my ratings metrics for doubles-only for the season goes like this:

Johan 1.35
Tambour 0.95
Txanika 0.79
Olharan 0.72
Aaron 0.71
Bixente 0.00
Libois -0.03
Javier -0.23
Garcia -0.40
Celaya -1.21
Amets -1.99

The number is the std deviation of whatever it is that it's measuring. (secret sauce - not WPS-based)

Not sure how Garcia ended up so far down there, but need to check his double WPS record next for comparison. But if it's valid, it's probably due to his serve woes.

What I like about it is that it's totally hands off, with no potential for my own bias. Just some very objective measurements.
