Despite the importance of doubles tennis, there is little research on this modality of the game, especially in women's tennis. The aim of this study was to analyse the finishing shot, the ending zone and shot by ending zone of women´s doubles matches during three Grand Slams (GS), and to observe the differences among surfaces. Twenty-one women's doubles matches from three GS, each played on a different surface were analysed. 56.4 ± 2.3% of the points were finished from the baseline and mid court zone (BMZ), 36.1 ± 2.3% from the net zone (NZ) and 7.5 ± 4.2% from the service zone (SZ). The shot with which the points ended primarily was the forehand volley (FV) (18.2 ± 3.5%), followed by the forehand (F) (17.4 ± 4.2%), the backhand (B) (15.8 ± 4.8%), the backhand volley (BV) (12.8 ± 3.6%), the forehand return (FRT) (11.7 ± 2.7%), the backhand return (BRT) (11.4 ± 2.6%), the service (S) (7.5 ± 4.2%) and the overhead (O) (5.2 ± 3.0%). The results showed a higher percentage of F played from the BMZ in Roland Garros (RG) than in Wimbledon (W) (p = 0.011). In addition, the results also showed a higher percentage in overall F in RG than in W (p = 0.023). The FRT percentage was higher in the Australian Open (AUS) compared to RG (p = 0.026), and the O shots played from the BMZ were higher in W than RG (p = 0.038). These results suggest that in professional women's doubles tennis the net game is a determinant factor, as well as the volley (V) and F shots. Playing aggressive and close to the net may have a positive effect on the result. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
