世界女子職業網球單打排名之分析

本研究目的為藉由WTA排名積分簡介及聯邦盃成績與單打排名分析進一步瞭解我國女子選手之世界排名現況，並提供訓練策略及目標設定之參考。WTA女子職業網球選手整年度的賽事安排，於年終僅有8-10週的季外休息。在賽季中「賽訓合一」已成為職業網球選手訓練的重要戰略之一。俄羅斯的女子網球選手，目前已是女子網壇表現最佳的國家。有5人在WTA單打排名前10名。法國網球界在積極培養女子網球選手，並配合舉辦ITF職網比賽下，今年已有3人打進世界前20名。而我國選手的努力空間還很大，目前僅有1位單打排名在前100名。另外在舉辦女子職網賽事方面，我國2008年只有舉辦1次總獎金十萬美元的比賽，近兩年並未舉辦ITF總獎金最低層級之1萬或2.5萬美元的比賽，此較不利於我國積分較少之選手爭取積分排名。故建議我國負責網球事務之單位，增加舉辦女子國際賽或職網賽事，以刺激及提升我國女子網球的水準，並可促進國內網球風氣的興盛及增進網球運動在國內體壇的地位。

並列摘要

The annual tournaments schedule of WTA Tour only has eight to ten weeks off in the end of year, so that players' training and playing tournaments has become the one to be an important training strategy in the seasons. The women players' performance of Russia is the best of women professional tennis in the world, because it has five women players in top 10 of WTA rankings. France has been working very hard and trying many ways aggressively including hosting ITF professional tournaments to improve the strength of their women tennis. In this year, France has already had three players to get into top 20 of WTA rankings. On the other hand, Taiwan so far only has one professional women player in the top 100 of WTA, which indicates that Taiwan players still have long way to go. In Taiwan, there was only one US$100,000 of Women ITF tournament to be held in 2008, but did not have any other tournament of lower prize money level such as US$10,000 or US$25,000 to be held in the past two years, which will impact young Taiwanese players to gain the WTA rankings. Therefore, we would like to suggest the official department of tennis affairs of Taiwan that to host more women international or professional tournaments, in order not only to stimulate and improve the strength of women tennis but also increase tennis to gain higher position in the sports environment of Taiwan.
