As they say it’s the age of technology, each day
new innovations are made and new inventions are created, which affect our life
somehow or the other. Even in sports latest technology is used, to make the
game better and eradicate human errors. Have you ever noticed while watching a
tennis match the technology that is being used? Issues like whether the ball is
in or out the playing court?
Surprisingly this played a part in the Australian
Open final between Roger and Nadal as well, when Roger called for the ball to
be in and the referee calling it as out, the technology gave the verdict in the
end by going in favor of Roger, who won his 18th grand slam. Other
than this it can show the speed of a serve and a lot more, which makes non
professional players envy the big guns.
Recently a tennis club in Columbus incorporated
this technology so that young players and normal members get a chance to use
this technology. These smart courts are state of the art; which gives in depth
analysis of the game. It has 6 cameras, 3 on the base to record and analyze the
game. Then the members who have registered can access their recordings to
improve their game, work on their short comings by rewinding each recording.
The technology then makes a three dimensional model and replays it so that
every angle is covered.

Moreover, the technology used in these smart
courts during matches’ record every aspect of the set such as speed of the
ball, the type of swing, pin pointed ball spots and as each individual has
different styles of game play, it analyses individually. In practice members can work on their back
hand, forehand, cut shots, increase swing speed and practice of serve that
makes thing easier to analyze and improve. The movements are monitored and
worked on by body tracking; this can also help in showing which exercises
should be incorporated.

the club say that his technology has increased the quality level and there is a
positive feedback of the players as well.As a tennis enthusiast who loves to watch
