Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Overall this is a well-written paper with an interesting result on the area in this population.

 

The results are based on the rational working hypothesis, well-described and with a correct research design.

 

The introduction provides sufficient background information for readers to understand the research aim.The methodology proposed to reach the aim of the study look appropriate, well designed and conducted.

Reference style should be checked with the journal standards.

As it stands, the results are novel and important enough for this journal.

We have carefully checked the Reference style with the journal standards.

Reviewer 2 Report

The paper refers to an interesting problem (examination of visual perception in tennis athletes) and it is well-positioned in Journal scope.  From a methodical and practical perspective, the investigated problem is interesting. 

The authors propose a ERPs technique for measure the cortical activity and assess visual attention. This should be considered a valuable contribution methodical. 

However, few corrections are required which are given below, and I hope the comments will be helpful to improve this study.

1) A precise definition of visual perception (attention) should be provided. 
How is this measured (ERP)?
A more thorough literature search should be done.

2) The procedure of registration, removal of artifacts and analysis of brain activity should be detailed.

3) Section 'Conclusions’ - there is no information about the limitations of the proposed solution, further research plans, advantages compared to other solutions.

4) Please clarify the formulation (in conclusions):
... their extensive experience in viewing the type of serves to help them more effectively match visual information about serves to structures or patterns stored in long-term memory.

5) It is good practice when publishing research results to include source data, e.g. in the FigShare repository. Please add the measurement data used for your analysis.
