Abstract

Cilj je ovog istraživanja utvrditi razlike u parametrima situacijske uspješnosti servisa između pobjednika i poraženih na Wimbledonu 2017. Uspješnost servisa, prvog ili drugog, smatra se važnim čimbenikom u odlučivanju pobjednika u meču. U radu su opisane karakteristike travnate podloge (engl. grass court) koja je najbrža od svih podloga na kojima se igra te je posebno velika prednost za igrače koji imaju kvalitetan servis. Osim servisa bitno je da loptica niže odskače, što protivnika također dovodi u nepovoljan položaj te je još jedna od specifičnosti travnatog terena na Wimbledonu. Za potrebe rada korišteni su statistički pokazatelji svih odigranih pojedinačnih susreta ATP rangiranih tenisača koji su sudjelovali na glavnom dijelu turnira Wimbledona 2017. godine. Pratile su se varijable servisa kod igrača pobjednika i poraženih u svim odigranim susretima tijekom prva tri seta. Uzorak ispitanika u ovom istraživanju čine statistike odigranih susreta 127 igrača, dok se uzorak varijabli sastoji od 16 statističkih parametara koje je službeno pratila međunarodna teniska organizacija na Wimbledonu 2017. godine. Za sve varijable izračunati su osnovni parametri deskriptivne statistike, a razlike između parametara situacijske uspješnosti servisa između igrača pobjednika i poraženih utvrđene su t-testom za nezavisne uzorke. Rezultati ovog rada pokazali su kako igrači pobjednici u setovima u parametrima situacijske uspješnosti servisa, posebice u drugom i trećem setu, statistički značajno izvode brže servise, naprave više asova i igraju manje poena na svoj servis.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this research is to determine differences in the parameters of situational efficiency of serve between tennis players winners and losers at Wimbledon in 2017. Efficiency of first or second service is considered to be important factor in determining winner of the match. In research is analyzed characteristics of grass court which is the fastest surface in tennis and presents a big advantage for players with high quality service. Beside service, it's important factor that ball bounces lower than usually which takes the opponent in untoward position, which is one more specificity of grass court on Wimbledon. For the purpose of this research there has been used statistical indicators of all played single matches ATP ranked tennis players who participated on the main Wimbledon tournament 2017. There were followed service variables in players winners and losers in all played matches during first three sets. The sample of respondents in this research are statistics of played matches of 127 tennis players, and variables consists of 16 statistical parametres which were followed by international tennis organization at Wimbledon 2017. For all variables are computed basic parameters descriptive statistics, and differences between parameters of situational efficacy of service between player winners and losers are established by t-test for independent samples. Results of this research showed that players winners in situational efficacy service parameters, especially in second and third set, performs faster services, makes more ace points and play less points during their service which is statistically significant.
