Top Tennis Apps for the Apple Watch

Tennis Plus

tennis-app-apple-watch-tennis-plus

Tennis Plus is the most advanced tennis app for the Apple Watch to date.

Before the arrival of WatchOS 2, third-party apps were not permitted to process and gather data from the motion sensors. Now that’s possible, the makers of Tennis Plus have included tracking metrics into their app. They said “Some concepts of tennis trackers were around already, but none were actually realized. However, Tennis Plus is real and available now.”

The makers of Tennis Plus believe their app is advanced enough to replace dedicated tennis trackers, if you own an Apple Watch, of course.

Tiebreak

The Tiebreak app is described by its makers as “The first wearable app that helps you win matches.”

The app isn’t going to turn you into Roger Federer, but is does have some cool features to give you insights on which areas of your game can be improved.

After your first set, Tiebreak is already learning about your game and starts making recommendations. The more tennis you play, the smarter the app gets.

If Tiebreak learns that your game gets weaker as the match progresses, it will recommend endurance training. The app knows about your current game, and if you’re losing because of a certain stroke. It also learns about your opponent’s weaknesses and which shots you normally beat them with.

Main Features

• Easy point tracking by tapping your Apple Watch

• Insights into your strengths and weaknesses

• Pre-game data based on previous records with different opponents

• Real-time recommendations

• Personalized training

Tennis Watch

tennis-watch-app-for-apple-watch

Tennis is such a great sport for clearing the mind of any jargon that might be circulating the Frontal Lobe. All you need to worry about is whipping that ball back over the net.. Blissful..

However, one thing that can interrupt the harmony of the peaceful game is a dispute over the score – if you don’t have an umpire, that is. One fine Summer’s day, I was enjoying a game with my friend William, otherwise known as “The Pig”, before a full-on feud broke out over the score. He said “Advantage Pig”, I said “Deuce”. The short version is, we ended up whacking balls at each other before zipping up our rackets and not playing again for the rest of the Summer.

According to The Pig’s “Bacon Diary” that happened in 2011. Maybe if we would’ve been keeping the score digitally on the Apple Watch, this altercation would never have happened. I blame Apple, for not releasing the Watch until 2015..

The Tennis Watch app could potentially prevent such a tense, on-court tribulation. It turns your Apple Watch into a simple and user-friendly score-keeping gizmo. All matches are stored on your iPhone for you to review.
