摘要：Purpose Good serving is crucial to succeed in men’s world class tennis; however, both chronological and skill-related service game development remain to be elucidated. The study aimed to systematically analyse the development of serving behaviour and serve efficiency in world class men’s tennis over a period of 14 years. Methods Historical data collected from all matches at the Wimbledon Championship between 2002 and 2015 (matches: n = 1772; service games: n = 63,838; serves: n = 401,527) were included for analyses. The analyses focused on 2 comparisons, serve efficiency development over time and possible differences within the world class, i.e. 1 st tournament week results (matches: n = 1563; service games: n = 55,989; serves: n = 352,748) and 2 nd tournament week results (matches: n = 209; service games: n = 7849; serves: n = 48,779). Results An increase was observed of the percentages for service games won ( p p p p p st and 2 nd tournament week show advantages in favour of the 2 nd tournament week. Players competing in the 2nd tournament week won higher percentages of service games ( p st ( p nd serve ( p p p Conclusions With a particular impact on the 2 nd tournament week, the findings indicate increased serve efficiency in men’s world class grass court tennis from 2002 to 2015, which may imply altered practice patterns in tomorrow’s training and coaching.
