Probabilistic structure of errors in forehand and backhand groundstrokes of advanced tennis players

Accuracy and speed are related to performance in tennis. Most research has focused on speed and little is known about the probabilistic structure of error (i.e. accuracy). In the present study 31 advanced players performed a standardised test and accuracy was measured using video analysis. Parameters describing 95% confidence ellipses (CEs) of forehand and backhand were calculated to determine the probabilistic structure of errors. Results...
