Abstract

Tennis is particularly prominent among the many highly competitive sports, and it is critical to provide scientific strategic guidance to players in modern tennis competitions. Based on data from the men's singles final of the 2023 Wimbledon Tennis Championships, this study synthesized match flow and scoring dynamics, quantified key metrics (e.g., serve dominance and player ability), and constructed the Momentum Evaluation Model to assess and predict trends in athlete momentum. By analyzing the main factors affecting momentum shifts, the model can predict the game's outcome more accurately. The study results show that momentum flows to the side of the more dominant player with different metrics. The model test shows that its prediction accuracy reaches more than 70%, which provides solid theoretical support for the tactical analysis of tennis matches and the optimization of athletes' on-court performances, as well as an effective guide for scientific, data-driven decision-making in tennis.
