| Description | In many ball sports the results of the game analysis are used to obtain feedback for the player and the coach. In tennis, the most frequent method is the analysis of game characteristics - questionnaires for players, match minutes (written or visual) or using various kinds of computer programs. The results of analyses of the most important game characteristics are now available electronically at major tennis tournaments.
