Definition of Player Games Won

What does the term "player games won" mean in the world of tennis betting? What is meant by the term "player games won"?

In tennis betting, you can bet on how many games you think a certain player will win over the course of an entire match.

For instance - let's say that Stefanos Tsitsipas is playing Alexander Zverev in a 2-out-of-3 Madrid Open match.

The "players games won" line might look like this:

Stefanos Tsitsipas, 12.5

Over 12.5 Games Won, 1.80
Under 12.5 Games Won, 1.90

Alexander Zverev, 12.5

Over 12.5 Games Won, 2.00
Under 12.5 Games Won, 1.75

If you think that Tsitsipas is going to win easily in straight sets, you'd want to take the Under 12.5 Games Won line for Zverev, as you would be expecting him to win just a handful of games.
