How's " The Uber Of Tennis" Doing?

Tennis goes big! A new app has been released that helps you find the hitting partner of your dreams. It is dubbed “The Tinder of Tennis,” and is officially known as “Tennis Buddy.” It has taken the tennis world by surprise and hasn’t stopped growing!


The app lets you find hitting partners based on location and skill level. The owner made a public statement claiming that they do not believe in finding partners based on gender and age. N great for publicity and has only helped its growth.





The app has gotten 10,000-50,000 downloads on the google play store since its release. Many believe that this app has the potential to take the tennis world and become a really great resource for tennis players of all ages and levels. In order to do that it would have to rack up a lot more downloads.


Its average rating on google play is 4.1 having had 1,049 reviews. 523 5-star ratings, 315 4-star ratings, 101 3-star ratings, 33 2-star ratings and 77 1-star ratings. Its 4.1 rating matches with google play’s average rating of 4.1 stars out of 5.


To download on android it requires version 4.0.3 or newer and on ios version 8.0 or later. The app has been working on improvements with bugs and overall performance having released its 25th update in April.


It has widely been regarded as “The Uber of Tennis” but will it be able to match Uber’s popularity and reputation in the tennis world?

We’ve all dreamed about it as kids, and maybe even adults. But how would you actually come into contact with them? Here are a couple ways that you might find useful. Using Their Agency I know of 1 particular agency that represents a couple of big players like Djokovic and Nadal. They offer lots of different opportunities to contact their players. You can book a hitting session with them or have lunch with them, imagine finding out what Nadal orders at restaurants! You can get a private meet and greet with the player of your choice I’m not too sure but you could probably also do it for an organization too. Although this isn’t with a player you can get a “backstage tour” of an ATP or WTA tournament of your choice. Or something every single tennis fan has dreamed of sitting in a player’s private box and having cameras shine on them. Just think about sitting next to Jelena or Xisca and talking to them about their boyfriend/husband’s game. Or you can sit on the court during a p...

In her press conferences, she said that she wanted to “focus” on her studies.

She returned in 2005 after a short-lived retirement. Her first p...
