With the high-speed development of modern competitive sports, the gap of between the physical fitness and the technical and tactical level of athletes are shrinking.To create excellent performance, athletes in the race must require a higher overall capability, in which mental capacity is quite an essessral part.The changes of psychological is a key factor in determining the outcome during the race. Studies shown that for low and intermediate skills of athletes to the impact of psychological factors accounted for 20% while the biomechanical factors that accounted for 80%; and elite athletes on the contrary, the impact of psychological factors accounted for 80% while the biomechanical factors that accounted for 20%.Tennis requires a high mental ability for the athletes. It is a key factor whether the athletes have got a good mental ability or not during significant competitions. Thus the outcome on the tennis court depends not only on the athlete's physical ability and ball technology, but also to a large extent on the impact of their psychological strategies. If one can not win the psychological warfare during the game, he or she will completely fall into a passive situation. Instead, one will likely to play a super-level. By reviewing the history of tennis there is no difficult to find that although there are many well-trained players to shot perfect, pleasing the audience, they always seem to miss the victory. However those who seem not gifted or can not play first-class batting are often know how to win.In competitive sports, adolescence is generally regarded as one's golden age of his sport career which is also the critical period for the growth of world-class athletes.
