Sprinting for Tennis Conditioning

This is the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard.
If you would watch any amount of tennis you would be able to tell that fatigue plays one of the biggest roles in a match’s outcome.

I picture tennis players similar to 800 runners, you must have great explosive ability, but also the ability to last.

Special Endurace and General Endurance (aeribic etc) are not the same thing. The is, of course a strong need for general endurnce but no role for Special Endurance- which would be a maximal continuous burst for 15 sec or more, not continuous action with short bursts intersperced as in tennis. The significance of this is that general fitness and pure speed coexist very nicely together while Speed and SE compete against each other for the same limited CNS resources.
