        abstract = {This report explores the critical role of sport psychology in enhancing athletic performance in tennis, a sport where mental resilience is paramount. It examines the psychological challenges faced by players, such as anxiety, mental toughness, and emotional regulation, while highlighting strategies like visualisation, goal setting, and self-talk that contribute to improved performance. Prominent athletes, including Iga Swiatek, Roger Federer, Coco Gauff, and Rafael Nadal, serve as case studies to illustrate the profound impact of psychological factors on success. The report advocates for a comprehensive approach to mental skills training in tennis, emphasising the integration of psychological strategies into regular practice. By prioritising mental well-being alongside physical training, coaches and players can foster a generation of athletes equipped to navigate the pressures of competition, ultimately enhancing their performance and personal development in the sport.},
