Overview

A competitive tennis academy relied entirely on coach observation for player development. Without objective data, training was inconsistent and players plateaued without understanding why. We built a computer vision system that analyzes match and practice video to track every aspect of performance — ball trajectory, player positioning, stroke mechanics, footwork patterns, and tactical decisions.

The Challenge

Tennis moves fast. Ball speeds exceed 100mph, rallies last seconds, and the camera angle affects what's visible. The vision system needed to track ball and player positions accurately from standard court cameras (no special equipment), handle varying lighting conditions, and translate raw tracking data into actionable coaching insights.

Our Approach

We trained a custom object detection model on thousands of hours of tennis footage for ball and player tracking. A biomechanics analysis module evaluates stroke technique by comparing joint angles and timing against professional benchmarks. A tactical analysis layer identifies patterns in shot selection, court positioning, and point construction. Everything feeds into a coaching dashboard with video clips linked to each data point.
