Abstract

The Wimbledon Tennis Championships, the historic Grand Slam tennis tournament, is known for its grass courts and plain white dress code. Since its inaugural edition in 1877, Wimbledon has become a coveted place of honour for players and has witnessed countless legends. This study analyses the data of 128 men's singles matches published on the official website in 2023 through the literature method, and uses the P-S method for correlation analysis, and explores the factors affecting the results of the matches through the S-W and K-W tests, the independent samples t-test, the logistic regression model, and the ROC test. The results of the study showed that winning the 1st serve point had a significant effect on the match outcome, providing new training directions for players and coaches and emphasising the importance of the serve point in tennis. Based on this finding, players and coaching teams can pay more attention to the competition for serve points and improve the ability to win serve points through targeted training.
