The present investigation represents an attempt to begin to delineate the specific advance cues that tennis players might employ as a basis for predicting the passing shots (i.e., forehand and backhand; down-the-line, cross-court, or lob) of their opponents and, as well, to evaluate the predictive accuracy of any such cues identified. In addition, an effort has been made to determine whether individuals judged to possess advanced tennis skills make more effective use of available telegraphic cues than do those players considered to possess only an intermediate level of overall tennis proficiency. The results obtained indicate that advance body-language cues do exist that accurately forecast passing-shot location, and this is particularly true for forehand shots. Some of the actual cues employed are reported. Generally, advanced players predicted passing-shot type more accurately than did their intermediate counterparts. In some instances, this difference in accuracy can be attributed to the fact that the intermediate players were unaware of what the telegraphic cues were (e.g., backhand shots) while, in other situations, the difference in prediction ability is primarily due to the intermediate players' more frequent failure to detect the presence of known telegraphic cues (i.e., forehand shots).
本研究旨在尝试开始描绘网球运动员可能用作预测对手穿越球（即正手和反手；直线、斜线或高吊球）基础的特定提前线索，并评估所识别出的任何此类线索的预测准确性。此外，还努力确定被判定具备高级网球技能的个体是否比那些被认为仅具备中等网球总体水平的球员更有效地利用了可用的暗示线索。所获得的结果表明，确实存在能够准确预测穿越球位置的提前肢体语言线索，对于正手击球而言尤其如此。报告了一些实际使用的线索。一般来说，高级球员比中级球员更准确地预测穿越球类型。在某些情况下，这种准确性差异可归因于中级球员不知道暗示线索是什么（例如反手击球），而在其他情况下，预测能力的差异主要是由于中级球员更频繁地未能检测到已知暗示线索的存在（即正手击球）。
