Description The contribution deals with the issues of the level and evolution trends of selected factors of sports performance in tennis. The research intent was to perform a longitudinal observation of the level of somatic and motor predisposition in two male tennis players, who have reached a high international level of performance in their adult age, to evaluate evolution trends and to compare the data with a population of male tennis players (national level). The research data were gathered using the test battery TENDIAG1 containing three somatic and six motor items. The results of both observed players clearly show that the total point score in the test battery was above (on two occasions at) the boundary of the average level of the male tennis players’ population (national level). The level of body height and weight of both players was above average. The results confirm the importance of somatic, conditioning, and coordination preconditions for tennis.
