In this study, we propose an AI classification model for tennis serve scores. Using a deep learning algorithm, the model automatically tracks and classifies the serve scores of professional tennis players from video data. We first defined the players’ techniques, volleys, and placements of strokes and serves. Subsequently, we defined the referee's tennis terms and the voice in deciding on a serve score. Finally, we developed a deep learning model to automatically classify the serving position, landing position, and use of tennis techniques. The methodology was applied in the context of 10 matches played by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The proposed deep learning algorithm achieved a 98.27% accuracy in the automatic classification of serve scores, revealing that Nadal outscored Federer by 2.1% in terms of serve-scoring efficiency. These results are expected to facilitate the automatic comparison and classification of shots in future studies, enabling coaches to adjust tactics in a timely manner and thereby improve the chances of winning. a1989-1660
