Direct comparisons of the 1st and 2nd tournament week results favour players competing in the 2nd (p < 0.05), and aces served (p < 0.01), whereas double faults served (p < 0.05) and serve and volley points played (p < 0.001)ĭecreased significantly.

In conclusion, tennis players were able to maintain constant serve speed and accuracy over five-set matches played on grass courts. 36) percentage of “double faults”, 2.8 ± 3.0% vs.

The difference of all accuracy values of first set serves was not significantly different from those of the fifth set: percentage of valid first serves, 63.1 ± 11.1% vs. The overall serve speed was 177.0 ± 10.2 km/h in the first set and 176.1 ± 11.7 km/h in the fifth set (p =. Results showed that match duration averaged 208.3 ± 28.3 min.

We analysed tennis serve statistics from five-set Wimbledon matches (n = 15 30 players). The aim of this study was to analyse the tennis serve speed and accuracy in prolonged male professional matches played on grass courts. The potential effect of fatigue on stroke production in tennis players is still controversial.
