With the deepening of reform and opening up and the gradual establishment of the socialist market economic system, it has posed new challenges to the development of sports in China in the 2025+0 century. As an important part of sports in China, how to speed up the research and formulate development strategies and countermeasures for the 2 1 century will directly affect the overall development of tennis and the realization of its goals. This paper only makes a preliminary discussion on this subject.

1. What's the current situation of tennis in China?

Tennis originated in 12 ~ 13 century. 1875 formulates the rules of the game, 19 12 establishes the international network. According to historical records, in the first modern Olympic Games held in Greece from 65438 to 0894, tennis was the only ball game included in the official competition. Later, due to the differences between the International Network Association and the International Olympic Committee on the understanding of professional athletes and amateur athletes, tennis was cancelled from the 9th to 22nd Olympic Games. The 23rd Olympic Games began to be listed as a performance event, and the 24th Olympic Games was officially listed as a competition event. The development trend of tennis in the world today is highly professional, attractive commercialization, extensive internationalization and scientific computer record ranking method. ?

Tennis was introduced to China in the late19th century. At first, it was only held in churches in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities, and then it developed into a missionary school. But always between a few people. After the founding of New China, under the care of leaders at all levels of the central and local governments, tennis has gradually developed in China. Since 1980s, the level of tennis in China has been greatly improved, and it won several Asian champions in the 10 ~ 13 Asian Games. 1997 with the reform of the former state sports commission, the tennis management center was established. According to the registration statistics of 1999, there are currently 24 teams, 353 professional tennis players and 95 professional coaches in China. At present, women's events are higher than men's events. Li Fang has entered the World Professional Tennis Series, and the international ranking 1998 is the best among the top 50. In addition, both men's and women's teams have a group of outstanding young talents.

Second, the countermeasures to improve the competitive level of tennis in China?

In order to develop and improve tennis, we must break the existing development mode, closely focus on the law of tennis's own development from the height of strategic thinking, and combine the present situation of China to seriously study the countermeasures of project development, which is the key to the further development of our tennis.

Choose the right project breakthrough?

In order to make tennis achieve a "zero" breakthrough in medals in the Olympic Games, we must adopt the methods of key people, key events and key breakthroughs, and choose the breakthrough points of events. ?

At present, three women in China rank among the top 200 in the world. In addition, there are several outstanding young people. Men's world ranking is around 700, and their level is obviously lower than that of women. Therefore, women's events and women's doubles events can be selected as key breakthroughs. There are two main factors:?

1? Compared with international players, it is easy to organize the best partners and train together. Most foreign athletes participate in the competition as individuals and families, and their highest goal is to improve their international rankings. So doubles are often ignored. On the contrary, we can make full use of the advantages of the national system and play a game of chess in the whole country to jointly complete the Olympic glory plan. ?

2? Taking doubles as an important breakthrough project is not only the need to strategically complete the Olympic glory plan, but also the need for the further development of tennis skills and tactics in China. Because to catch doubles, we must first solve the skills of serving and surfing the internet, which is the weakness of our skills and tactics. Therefore, by improving the level of catching doubles, it will greatly promote the overall strength of tennis skills and tactics in China at present.

Second, broaden the channels for training outstanding talents?

Talent, competition environment and teaching level are the three major factors reflecting the development of tennis, among which talent is the leading factor. According to statistics, the tennis population in the United States accounts for114 of the national population, and there are more than 20 million tennis players, among whom children account for more than 40%. In Germany, there are more than 65,438+10,000 teenagers aged 14 ~ 18 registered with the Tennis Association. There are more than 50,000 young tennis players in Sweden. In contrast, the proportion of tennis team and tennis population in China is very weak. At present, there are only more than 300 professional tennis players in China, and the children's tennis population below 12 is less than 500. Summarizing the reasons for the long-term backwardness of tennis in China, tracing back to the source, among many factors, the lack of popularity and narrow development model are undoubtedly the key points. Therefore, how to broaden the training channels of excellent tennis reserve talents has become a new topic for the development of tennis in China. ?

Broaden the ways to cultivate excellent tennis reserve talents, and focus on solving the following problems:

1? Establish a wide range of tennis training institutions?

At present, young tennis players in China are mainly trained in more than 20 teams of provincial and municipal sports committees and a few amateur sports schools. Due to the limitation of teaching conditions, it is unlikely that these units will accept a large number of children for formal tennis training. This requires us to establish a large number of tennis training institutions that are conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm of all parties and the development of tennis in accordance with the laws of the socialist market economy. Tennis training institutions can be divided into:?

(1) national youth tennis training institution; ?

(2) Youth tennis training institutions run by the society; ?

(3) Youth tennis training institutions run by individuals; ?

(4) Joint youth tennis training institutions. ?

The organizational forms of training institutions can be divided into:?

(1) Youth Tennis School; ?

(2) Youth Tennis Club; ?

(3) Amateur sports school youth tennis team; ?

(4) Provincial and municipal professional youth tennis teams; ?

(5) The youth tennis team of the Department of Physical Education. ?

2? Expanding the number of coaches and improving their quality is the key to further broaden the channels for cultivating outstanding talents?

According to 1999 coach registration statistics, there are 95 professional coaches engaged in tennis teaching in China at present, and there are even fewer professional coaches engaged in juvenile tennis teaching. Even some provincial and municipal sports committees are unable to build teams because of lack of coaches. Facing the expanding tennis market, the contradiction between supply and demand of coaches is increasingly prominent. In addition, the lack of management of sparring, which has become increasingly active in recent years, and the impact on professional coaches will seriously restrict the development of tennis in China. ?

Therefore, according to the market demand, a training system for coaches engaged in tennis teaching should be established as soon as possible.

(1) Make full use of the favorable conditions of colleges and universities, introduce the market mechanism, and provide training conditions and opportunities for all those who are interested in tennis teaching on the principle that whoever invests will benefit. ?

(2) Using ITF cooperation plan, introducing foreign advanced coach training system, expanding and standardizing tennis coach training system. ?

(3) Gradually implement the tennis coach's certificate system, strengthen the examination and technical level promotion system, establish an incentive mechanism, and constantly improve the professional ability and coaching level. ?

(4) Further improve the tennis syllabus, strengthen scientific research, formulate guiding documents for the scientific training of young tennis players, reform the competition methods, and promote the success rate of tennis players.

Accelerate the reform of the competition system?

1? Learning and mastering foreign advanced competition methods is the basis for further promoting the reform of China's competition system?

International tennis matches are closely arranged around computer scoring rankings. Tennis computer ranking starts from 1990, and adopts the best tournament system of 52 weeks 14. The sum of each player's points obtained in each game and the bonus points obtained by defeating the player who is higher than himself is added to the total score, which determines the change of his ranking. One of these methods is to encourage athletes to participate in competitions; The second is to encourage athletes to attack players who are taller than themselves. In order to adapt to this kind of competition, an excellent tennis player must take part in at least 50 games every year, while there are more than 800 tennis games every year in the world, and almost every week there are competitions of the same level or different levels for all kinds of athletes to choose from. It is the first step for China athletes to enter the world to study and master the scoring method of international rankings and reasonably choose international competitions according to their own level.

2? Reform the existing competition mode in China in combination with the actual situation?

Compared with many tennis events in the world, due to the influence of funds and other factors, there are currently seven adult male and female competitions in China every year, and the results of the competitions are also arranged in order. However, it is not in line with the international competition rankings and adopts a dual-track system. Although this is also the method adopted by many tennis developing countries, it will eventually eliminate the domestic rankings. The way is to hold various levels of international competitions in China, so that domestic competitions can be fully integrated with international competitions. ?

According to the actual situation of China's sports level, different competition system reforms can be implemented in male and female events respectively. ?

(1) At present, the level of men's events is still low, so we can promote the club competition system in China, open up the tennis market, explore experience, increase athletes' competition opportunities, solve the problem of combining competition with practice, and further promote the development of overall strength through the club's home and away games. ?

(2) The level of women's events is higher than that of men's, so we can learn from the methods of foreign developed countries when they started to develop. ?

A considerable number of international competitions are held in China every year. On the one hand, its purpose is to solve the problem of insufficient funds for going abroad, not to go abroad to play international competitions, and to improve the international ranking; On the other hand, the introduction of competition mechanism, so that more foreign players to participate in the game, to change the situation of single technical play. Let more female players have the opportunity to participate in international competitions, strive for international points, and create conditions and opportunities for outstanding players in China to stand out.
