Important performance characteristics at Wimbledon: implications for coaches

My research has sought to address the lack of performance analysis investigations into elite grass court tennis. In addition to introducing and validating a new, coach-friendly data analysis method, designed to encourage coaches to embrace performance analysis (Fitzpatrick et al., 2018), our research has advanced knowledge on the important aspects of elite grass court tennis match-play, and provided new insight into how matches are won at Wimbledon. This evidence-informed article summarises the key findings and then, crucially, considers the practical applications from a coaching perspective.
