The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of young tennis players sport-specific success motivation levels on their tennis tournament performances. 61 young tennis players (36 men, 25 women), between 14-18 years of age, actively playing tennis sport in three different tennis clubs in Antalya province, voluntarily participated in the study. To All participants, a personal information form containing their personal information and the information about the tournament they took part were applied. In order to measure the tennis players’ success motivation levels, the Sports-Specific Success Motivation Scale (S.S.S.M.S.), which consists of two sub-dimensions and developed by Willis in 1982, was used. S.S.S.M.S.. The first one of these sub-dimensions is the power motive (POW), the second one is success-related motives. The scores from the scale were compared according to the players’ gender, and their success reached in tournaments. As a result, it was determined that POW, which is one of the S.S.S.M.S. sub-dimensions, is a factor that has an effect on young tennis players ’ being at the top by winning the tournament.
