Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to identify the key factors underlying victory in modern tennis through analysis of performance indicators of the world tennis leaders in tournament finals. Research methods and organization include obtaining and analyzing retrospective quantitative indicators of the playing technique of the same tennis players featured in the finals of 2023-2026, based on video materials of matches of the strongest tennis players, in order to address the task related to substantiating the game factors that bring victories to a new generation of tennis players over the renowned multiple champions in Grand Slam tournament finals. Research results and conclusions. Based on the obtained characteristics of stroke techniques, the possibility of their use in games with contemporary tennis players has been established. It has been determined that the most important indicator of all of Alcaraz's matches – the winner of many tournaments, including the 2026 tournament – is a lower number of strokes per game and rally in the struggle for victory. This conclusion underscores the significance of quick responsiveness in the aspect of comparative control and evaluation as a factor of success when developing the style of modern play for skilled and talented tennis players.
