Abstract

Accuracy and speed are related to performance in tennis. Most research has focused on speed and little is known about the probabilistic structure of error (i.e. accuracy). In the present study 31 advanced players performed a standardised test and accuracy was measured using video analysis. Parameters describing 95% confidence ellipses (CEs) of forehand and backhand were calculated to determine the probabilistic structure of errors. Results showed that for both groundstrokes the long axis of the CEs was oriented almost parallel to the sideline. Despite greater ball speed (~107.2 vs. ~97.3 m • s−1; p
