      <![CDATA[There are a couple of assumptions that John omitted that I want to clarify concerning the likelihood of a golden set. First of all, if each player has a 50% chance of winning each point, the probability that one of the two players wins a golden set is ½^23 = 1/8,388,608 = 000000119…  (Note that it doesn’t matter who wins the first point, but the next 23 point must be won by the same player, thus ½^23.)
