TLDR
In this paper, a simple and effective method for improving student comprehension of mixed strategies was presented, and with some trial and error, they feel that this method eases the teaching of the information and increases the students'ability to understand and retain concepts.About:

Game theory : non-technical introduction to the analysis ofstrategy
TL;DR: The third edition of Game Theory: A Nontechnical Introduction to the Analysis of Strategy as mentioned in this paper is intended to teach by example, and increased stress is placed on the concept of rationalizable strategies to assist students in making the bridge from intuitive to more formal concepts of non-cooperative equilibrium.

Finding mixed strategy Nash equilibria with decision trees
Barry R. Cobb,Tinni Sen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the usefulness of decision tree models for determining mixed strategy Nash equilibria in normal form games, particularly to undergraduate students, by constructing a decision tree for each player, then solving the model via dynamic programming to determine the equations that must be satisfied at Nash equilibrium.

Minimax Play at Wimbledon
Mark Walker,John Wooders +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used data from classic professional tennis matches to provide an empirical test of the theory of mixed strategy equilibrium and found that the serve-and-return play of John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras and others is consistent with equilibrium play.

Testing Mixed-Strategy Equilibria When Players Are Heterogeneous: The Case of Penalty Kicks in Soccer
TL;DR: Chiappori et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that in a tennis game, the probability that the player who serves the ball wins the point is equal for serves to the right and serve to the left.
