摘要
目的：本研究旨在探討及比較亞洲國家的台灣、日本及中國在女子網球成功的差異。方法：自WTA官網球員排名系統收集2011－2020年女子網球單打排名資料，以女子網球成功項目及WTA球員最高排名為評估指標；以單因子變異數分析比較台灣、日本及中國間在網球成功項目的差異。結果：一、台灣在WTA排名的球員總數顯著少於日本及中國；二、台灣在WTA排名前200的球員數顯著少於日本及中國；三、台灣在前5位WTA的綜合排名顯著低於日本及中國；四、日本及中國的WTA球員最高排名顯著優於台灣。結論：台灣在WTA的球員總數、WTA排名前200的球員數及WTA最高排名方面有成長，但整體的排名表現及網球成功的程度均落後於日本及中國，女子網球成功水準尚待提昇。
