Resumen

El propósito de este estudio fue determinar las diferencias en las estadísticas de competición entre jugadores profesionales y sub-18 en tenis masculino y femenino. Se registraron un total de 546 partidos correspondientes a Grand Slam (268 masculinos y 278 femeninos). Todos los datos se obtuvieron de las páginas webs oficiales de los torneos. Se analizaron variables relacionadas con la duración del partido, servicio, resto y los golpes ganadores y errores no forzados. Se llevó a cabo un análisis descriptivo y una prueba Mann Whitney U para examinar las diferencias entre categorías, mientras que se realizó un análisis discriminante para encontrar las variables que principalmente diferencian a ambas categorías según el género. Los jugadores profesionales disputaron partidos y sets de mayor duración, además de obtener un mejor rendimiento en las variables de servicio y conseguir más golpes ganadores, mientras que los jugadores Sub-18 consiguieron más efectividad al resto y cometieron menos errores no forzados que los jugadores profesionales (p<0.001). Por su parte, las jugadoras profesionales cometieron menos dobles faltas, pusieron en juego un mayor porcentaje de primeros servicios y consiguieron más golpes ganadores, mientras que las Sub-18 cometieron menos errores no forzados (p<0.001). Sin embargo, las variables que más diferencian a ambas categorías fueron los golpes ganadores y errores no forzados por set en ambos géneros, además de la duración de los partidos y saques directos en categoría masculina. Estos datos ayudarán a los entrenadores a mejorar los programas de entrenamiento, guiando el desarrollo de jugadores Sub-18 hacia el profesionalismo.
