TY - JOUR T1 - Unforced errors and error reduction in tennis JF - British Journal of Sports Medicine JO - Br J Sports Med SP - 397 LP - 400 DO - 10.1136/bjsm.2005.023432 VL - 40 IS - 5 AU - H Brody Y1 - 2006/05/01 UR - http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/40/5/397.abstract N2 - Only at the highest level of tennis is the number of winners comparable to the number of unforced errors. As the average player loses many more points due to unforced errors than due to winners by an opponent, if the rate of unforced errors can be reduced, it should lead to an increase in points won. This article shows how players can improve their game by understanding and applying the laws of physics to reduce the number of unforced errors. ER -
