Abstract

Tennis research shows that stroke technique, which accounts for over 67% of attack success, is followed by serving and defending, which each account for 31%. It is imperative to synchronize the physical component components through training methods that are appropriate for the conditions of a particularly competitive event to smash the ball accurately on the side of the racket and hit the target with great precision. Recent studies suggest that cerebral intelligence and other components of kinesthetic awareness play a vital role in controlling muscular power and eye-hand synchronization for the development of tennis groundstroke techniques. The goal of this study was to determine how much the hand’s functionality and hand-eye coordination contributed to court tennis drive stroke skills. The demographic and sample of this study consisted of 40 male students majoring in physical education, health, and leisure at the Faculty of Sports. Purposive sampling is employed in the selection process, and tests and measurements of grip performance using a hand grip dynamometer tool, hand-eye coordination using caste ball capture throwing, and stroke drive strength are utilized in forehand and backhand drive stroke tests (stroke accuracy) after the scoring of the fall of the ball hit is utilized in the data collection process. The data were also analyzed using double regression utilizing confession, a normality test using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and descriptive analysis using descriptive frequency. All analyses were stopped at a significant level of 0.05 with the use of the SPSS program version 26.0.The research’s conclusions are as follows: (1) grip strength performance contributed 0.681 (P-value 0.05) or 68.1% to the drive below; (2) force strength performance contributed 0.761 (P-value 0.05) or 76.1% to the drive stroke; and (3) grip strength performance and hand-eye coordination performance together contributed 0.848 (P-value 0.05) to the court tennis drive stroke skill. Additional study of his extensive physical attributes and technical elements will be needed to discover more about his contribution to tennis play, including gender traits.
