  • Description: We provide a theoretical and empirical analysis of the set-level strategic and psychological momentums in best-of-five contests where players have asymmetric abilities. Theoretical predictions match observed Set 1 outcomes, the only set with no set-level psychological momentum, but do not match any other sets. We  find evidence of psychological reversal: in every set following a non-tie net score, the winner of the previous set underperforms as compared to theoretical predictions
