The objective of this study was to quantify the training load involved in tennis training using relatively simple tools to provide practical information to coaches on the calculation and optimization of the training load, paying particular attention to the session-RPE method, the calculation of the monotony index and the acute to chronic workload ratio calculation. This article presents a case study of a 16-year-old player combining his education with his training in a tennis academy as well as with competition. The daily and weekly training load as well as the other indicators were calculated over 31 weeks and then explained, interpreted and discussed in this article.
