• Abstract: Machine learning has had a significant positive impact on the prediction of athlete performance and injury risk. Most works in this field rely on subjective observations and expert assessments, which restrict their effectiveness. In sports like soccer, basketball, and wrestling, some studies attempt to address this challenge by integrating data from alternative sources, such as readings from wearable devices, alongside traditional subjective observations and expert assessments to enhance accuracy. However, similar research in tennis remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we propose a multimodal Predictive Athlete Readiness framework for Tennis (PART) to assess both performance and injury risk in tennis players. By leveraging machine learning and deep learning techniques, PART processes multiple sources of data collected from nine collegiate tennis players, including physiological metrics, training and match data, sleep data from wearable devices, self-reported information via daily questionnaires, jump assessments, and motion analysis from match play videos. PART captures four characteristics of tennis players: overall wellness, injury risk, physical capability, and playing style. By integrating these four characteristics by supervised learning, it is capable of providing a holistic assessment of the tennis athlete's condition, along with advanced forecasts of specific body areas at risk such as the upper body (e.g., elbows) or lower body (e.g., knees). Our evaluation, conducted with data from nine collegiate tennis players, shows that PART achieves strong performance in predicting both overall wellness and injury risk. Additionally, our framework also shows promise for recreational tennis players, who often suffer from injuries due to incorrect playing techniques.
