This study aims to analyze the contribution of agility and eye-hand coordination, both partially and simultaneously, to the groundstroke performance of tennis athletes at the HITEC Padang club [cite: 1]. The research method used a quantitative correlation approach [cite: 1]. The study population consisted of all 18 HITEC club athletes, using a purposive sampling technique (the criteria for athletes aged over 10 years), resulting in 15 samples (11 males, 4 females) [cite: 1, 31]. Measurement instruments included a T-Test for agility, a Hand-Eye Coordination Test (throwing and catching a tennis ball against a wall) for eye-hand coordination, and the Hewitt Tennis Achievement Test for groundstroke accuracy [cite: 1, 38-40]. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, Product Moment correlation, and multiple correlation [cite: 1, 40-44]. The results of the study showed: (1) There was a significant relationship between agility and groundstrokes (t-count 0.372 > t-table 0.338) [cite: 1]; (2) There was a significant relationship between eye-hand coordination and groundstrokes (t-count 0.427 > t-table 0.338) [cite: 1]; (3) There was a significant joint relationship between agility and eye-hand coordination and groundstrokes (F-count 0.573 > F-table 0.338) at α = 0.05.
