This paper intends to discover the level of cognitive and somatic anxiety in a sample of 78 tennis players, by means of the Inventory of Competitive Anxiety. The findings show high somatic anxiety values in tennis players and mid-high values of cognitive anxiety, which are positively related to the number of training hours per week. Finally, a set of psychological training strategies are gathered to help reduce and control the levels of anxiety in tennis players.
