Abstract

Hierarchies are present everywhere (physics, medicine, nature, human needs, etc.) and tennis is no exception. Is counterpuncher’s
goal just to chase down every ball and force the opponents into long rallies? The aim of this fi rst empirical
study is integrate theory and practice about overall quality evaluation and accurately analyze offensive and defensive
tennis priorities for counterpunchers. Weight of each criterion was obtained using AHP technique in Expert Choice software.
The results indicate that this model is able to provide important training variables in order to control and manipulate
training process. Also, issues prior to research indicate that sports scientists and expert coaches need to learn
from each other in order to help players maximizing their performance.
