The technical effectiveness of scrimmage (ET) has been identified as a good parameter for performance prediction in tennis and the hitting balls frequency (FGP), although being a loading and conditional parameter seldom used, is a suitable indicator to detect differences in the game. The aim of this study was to characterize the ET in relation to the FGP in a top-level competition professional player, using a maximum, progressive and continuous protocol and recording at the same time loading and physiological parameters. He executed a total of 212 strokes, obtaining a 81.6% success in ET, the values vary along the test from a range of 81.6 to 93.3% and only decreased to a 70.7% in the fourth quarter reached (UP) and from the point of decreasing ET (PDET). A maximum FGP (FGPmax) of 21 hits·min-1 and a test duration (DP) of 14:07 (min:s) were obtained which corresponded to a 7-UP.We concluded that the player had a high ET and a remarkable capacity to maintain high indexes of ET, despite the increase in the FGP and the metabolic fatigue associated.
