Abstract

These days, coaches have to be analysts as well as motivators and personal assistants. To try and gain insights into a player's performance that will provide them with an edge over their opponents, they make use of sensor technology embedded into rackets, courts and even stuck on to players themselves. According to an expert, a combination of these analytical approaches will give players and their coaches the information they need. Sensors in the racket tell you how you swing the racket and cameras placed around the court tell you what the ball does afterwards. But when it comes to tennis analytics calculations, the best processor around is still the human mind, albeit a human mind trained in high-performance coaching, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the game of tennis and backed up by a lot of data about their player, the player's opponent and the biomechanics of both players' movements.
