Against the background of intensifying global sports competition and the continuing advancement of China’s sports-education integration policy, the cultivation of high-quality youth tennis reserve talents has become an urgent task. This study investigated 12 universities in Guangxi that offer tennis courses and adopted a mixed-methods design combining literature review, questionnaire survey, semi-structured interviews, field investigation, and logical analysis. A total of 120 student questionnaires were distributed and 115 valid responses were obtained. In addition, eight university tennis coaches were interviewed, on-site field investigation was conducted in eight universities, and online follow-up information was collected from the remaining four institutions. Drawing on the advanced experience of the European Union and the United States, this paper examines the current situation, major dilemmas, and restrictive factors of the integrated sports-education training model for Chinese youth tennis talents. The findings show that insufficient training venues (39.1%) and outdated or inadequate equipment (33.9%) remain major resource constraints, while 63.5% of respondents reported frequent conflicts between academic coursework and tennis training. The study also indicates weaknesses in coaching development and an overly competition-oriented evaluation system. On this basis, the paper proposes four improvement paths: Optimizing cross-departmental resource integration, constructing a collaborative academic-training curriculum system, strengthening the professional development of coaches, and establishing a diversified comprehensive evaluation system. This study enriches the theoretical discussion of sports-education integration in tennis talent development and provides a context-specific reference for improving university-based youth tennis training programs in China.
