if you are trying to replicate the bet "tsonga wins set 1" by backing tsonga before set 1 and laying him after, you need to know what price the market would have let you out at if tsonga had lost the set
the sp gives you a good idea of this exit price, but in practice the price you are allowed out at will depend on how the first set was won, not just who won/lost it.
djokovic might be showing signs of a niggly injury on his way to winning a tight first set, or he may have coasted it 6-0, each case gives a very different price on tsonga to win match from one set down.
the same applies for when tsonga has won the set, did he do so easily or not - if you let him win the 1st set 100 times he wouldn't be evens for the match after every outcome
