The technical analysis of conventional tennis sports basically focuses on individual studies, with less research on the basic theory of tennis, and the theoretical analysis of tennis trajectory is even rarer. In this study, based on the calculation equations of the main forces during tennis movement, the dynamics analysis of tennis serve movement is carried out, and the three-dimensional trajectory equations of tennis serve are established. Then, based on the ODE dynamics engine technology, the simulation platform of tennis serve is built to realize the simulation and visualization analysis of tennis trajectory. Since the simulation system beat frequency is 1000Hz, the time difference between tennis simulation and actual movement is the smallest, so the frequency of 1000Hz is chosen for the simulation study of tennis serve trajectory. The simulation results show that under the same hitting height and ball angle, the larger the initial velocity of the tennis ball is, the farther the X-axis landing point is from the center line. In addition, under the consideration of air resistance and Malnus force, the difference between the Y-axis landing point of tennis ball when the initial serve angle is 30° and 60° is 1.81098 m. The present study provides a certain reference for the in-depth study of the serving strategy of tennis ball, and at the same time, it also provides a certain theoretical basis for the improvement of the tennis players’ training method and technical playing style.
