This study investigates the results of various skill performances of professional male tennis players of different rankings, levels and periods in serve and return games. A total of 35 players were divided into 7 groups. One-way analysis of variance was employed to analyse the relationship between the differences in skills performance between the players of various groups in serve and return games. Results of this study indicated that there were significant differences between the skill performances in dominance ratio, ace rate, double faults rate, 1st serve rate, winning on 1st serve rate, winning on 2nd serve rate, receiving point won rate and receiving break point. Significant differences were also found in return games in relation to the skill performances in total point rate, receiving break point won and receiving break point. This study found that either in serve or return games, only Level I players were significantly better than the players of other levels, but no significant differences prevailed in receiving point won among players of all levels. Thus, if one is to compete with top-notch players, one cannot just have single skill performance, but must have more proactive ones in both serve and return games.

本研究分析了職業男子網球選手，在發球局和接發球局時不同排名選手，在各種技術表現差異情況。本研究共擷取35位職業網球運動選手，並被分為7組，使用單因子變異數分析，來了解發球局與接發球局比賽中各層級職業網球選手之間的技術表現差異。研究結果顯示，在發球局時優勢比，ace率，雙失誤率，第一發球率，第一發球率，第二發球率，接收點勝率和接收破發點之間，技術表現有顯著差異。接發球局時在總得分率，接發球得分率和破發點，這兩項表現也有顯著差異。本研究發現，無論是發球局或是接發球局，只有層級Ⅰ的選手明顯優於其他級別的選手，其他層級職業網球選手並沒有明顯差異。因此，如果要與頂尖的球員競爭，那麼不能僅有單項技術，在發球局和接發球局時都必須有更主動獲得分數的技術。
