Abstract
This study aim was to determine the prevalence of distinct groundstrokes combinations in 2,3 and 4 stroke rallies in top level tennis. The sample of 39 tennis games in US open 2010, Toronto 2010 and Monte Carlo 2010 with 2054 tactical combinations was analyzed. All rallies were  categorized into 2, 3 and 4 groundstrokes combinations with several distinct rally-patterns identified. After applying the proper statistical processing the researcher was able to determine the most effective tactical combinations that ended in winning points which is the main goal from applying all the technical and tactical abilities of any athlete. In conclusion, tennis players should be trained to end the rally within 2 or 3 consecutive strokes as these forms were the most prevalent at the top level.
