I made a calculator based on the your probability of winning a point. Obviously, table tennis is not that simple, but it's a fun toy to mess around with. You can save it and use it for yourself, but for now, I made it so that anyone can edit it (hopefully, none of you mess it up).

You only need to edit the top left yellow box.

Here's the link


EDIT: since deuces can be infinite, I stopped at 21-19. Cheers.
If you are interested in how I made it,

You take the binomial distributions.
p = probability of winning the point
[ P(X=10) X~Bin(10 + # of points the opponent gets, p) ] * p

You can't use P(X=11) X~Bin(11 + # of points the opponent gets, p) since that includes cases where the opponent wins point after you get 11.
