Season statistics
Each stat is stored as a value–count pair, so seasons can be added together and the rate is always value ÷ count.
2003–2011 · 314 games summed across the range
| Stat | Value | Count | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aces | 975 | 3,297.5 service games | 0.3 / game |

Value is what happened (aces hit, points won), count is how often it could (service games, points played). Adding seasons adds both — the rate is never averaged from percentages.
