Abstract

The development of the best women tennis players who won 179 Grand Slam tournaments between 1968-2012 and fought their way to the top of the WTA rankings indicates that a progressive training process based on obtaining best results when the player matures is superior to an earlier over-intensive programme, which is characterized by unnatural acceleration in training and competing with the aim of achieving immediate success at the junior level, or even before.
