Analyzing the Formation Strategy in Tennis Doubles Game
摘要
In the dynamic and strategic environment of tennis doubles games, understanding the multifaceted interactions between players is crucial for enhancing team performance. In our previous work, we introduced a novel analytical framework for tennis doubles, employing Markov Decision Processes (MDP) and probabilistic model checking (PMC) to model the intricate behaviors and interactions in the doubles game Liu et al. (Exploring team strategy dynamics in tennis doubles matches. In: International Sports Analytics Conference and Exhibition, Springer 104–115, 2024). Our previous model only considered the standard standing formation. However, in the professional and NCAA Division 1 doubles matches, the “I” formation is utilized very often but was missing from our previous work. In this paper, we aim to extend our previous model with different formations and discuss the effectiveness of various formation strategies.
