Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify changes in the main gaming trends of modern world tennis. Research methods and organization. The study was conducted using video materials from games with the computer program "Kinovea." Research results and conclusions. It has been revealed that the primary group of short-duration rallies, lasting 4.3 seconds and consisting on average of 3.88 strokes per rally, is a prevailing indicator throughout the game of the new young champions, who have a total of 416 strokes for the entire match, accounting for 29% of all strokes in the match. The gameplay of the world's top young tennis players at the Wimbledon tournament courts demonstrates the emergence of a new trend of "overloaded high-speed play" in tennis based on high responsiveness.
