What is it?

No amount of superlatives can speak to the extreme levels of physicality on display in our sport from the best players in the world. The battle of attrition that takes place from a physical perspective within matches is one of the most remarkable aspects of our sport. Total distance, sprints and high intensity changes of direction are focused on telling the story of the capacity of the lower body to accelerate and track down balls, while energy spent measures the overall physical effort being exerted.

DISTANCE COVERED

The total distance (in metres) that a player covers during points.

SPRINTS

A high-speed effort where players cover at least half the length of the baseline (ie., the distance between doubles sideline and the middle of the court).

HIGH SPEED MOVEMENT

High speed movement % indicates precisely how much movement a given athlete has performed within the high speed range (>4m/s for females and >4.5m/s for males).
