This research aimed to explore the competition statistics at the Rio de Janeiro JJOO 2016. To this end, 282 sets of the 128 matches played were analysed; a total of 128 tennis players (64 players male and 64 players female) took part. Data have been selected of the published information on the Official Web of the International Tennis Federation (http://www.itftennis.com/olimpiadas/cuadros). Results showed that male gender obtained significant statistical values in the variables related to the service, while female gender obtained better values in variables related to the rest. With regard to the Laterality, no significant differences were found between left-handed and right-handed in the male gender. In the female gender the left-handed players obtained significantly higher values in the percentage of points won with the first and second serve, number of break points and number of points earned to the rest. The information obtained in this paper sets performance parameters that can be used to set targets and evaluate the performance of tennis players.
