Screenshot Demo

Warning: this is a demo of the OLD version (1.6). The demo for the 2.2 comes soon.

A comprehensive demo/tutorial comes later. For now, please check the screenshots with some comments.

There are four operational modes:

Start screen: list of matches

After the installation you see two completed Grand Slam finals in the list:

These two entries may give you an idea how your statistics may look like.

You can create your own matches with Menu ⇨ New match:

View statistics

If you click on one of the matches you will see statistics, recorded in "Full stats" mode:

...and another screen:

However if you decided to keep the score in "Only score" mode, you would see significantly less statistics:

With Statistics menu you can either send full statistics report (normally per email) or share the short score information (email, sms, twitter, ...):

Start new match

Lookup names quickly from your contact book. All possible match scoring configurations are supported (Grand Slam rules, Davis Cup rules, WTB rules etc.):

Keeping the score

"Only score" mode is very simple mode where you can just keep the score with two buttons:

Using "Full stats" mode you can keep much more statistics data. However, operating in this mode requires concentration on the game.

Basically, for each point you do two inputs:

  1. how the ball was served
  2. and how the point was finished.

So, now Soderling is on serve:

Each service can end in three ways:

  • Ace
  • Fault (and consecutive Double Fault).
  • and In court

While waiting for the service keep your thumb slightly over "In court" button, as this would be your most frequent input. This button is that big and is positioned to the bottom of the screen because we don't want to distract you from watching the game while trying to find this button with your eyes in the case when the ball was played in.

So, now the ball was served in court, and as a next step we have to enter how the point was finished.

It can be either a:

  • Winner: the opponent couldn't hit the ball
  • or Forced error: error with significant pressure from the opponent
  • or Unforced error.

The difference between Unforced and Forced errors is relative and the choice is always subjective. Rule of thumb: if you doubt, then it was probably a forced error.

Optionally you can also enter whether the player was on the net or on the baseline (default).

So after a while the score board can look like that:

With the menu you can undo and redo points, switch to View statistics or rotate the screen if you like:

This is how a landscape-rotated screen looks like:

This is excellent. However,

This is excellent. However, options for junior usta like no ad scoring, tie breaker at 7:7, and tie breaker to. 7 win by 2 would be better. Doubles would be good too.

11. November 2010 - 10:18 — admin

* no ad scoring - already

* no ad scoring - already there since version 2.0
* tie-breaker at 7:7 - will come in the next major release (probably, 2.1)
* tie breaker to 7 win by 2 - already there
* doubles - planned for 2.1

Thank you for providing this

Thank you for providing this app. I used it today for the first time for my son's singles and doubles matches. Fun and easy to use! I would like to make a couple of suggestions: add Pro-Set/Super set games (First to 8 or 10 games, win by two games.

From Wikipedia: " Pro Set - Instead of playing multiple sets, players may play one "pro set". A pro set is first to 8 (or 10) games by a margin of two games, instead of first to 6 games. A 12-point tie-break is usually played when the score is 8-8 (or 10-10). These are often played with no-ad scoring."

Lots of tournaments play this variation to expedite tournament plays. Thank you again. Highly Recommended!

Thank you for your feedback

Thank you for your feedback and the feature request. The "Pro Set" feature has been released in version 2.2. See http://www.tennis-math.com/release_notes_2_2

Bonjour, je vous remercie de vos commentaires!

Unfortunately this is not possible since the text what you send in the email cannot be layouted as a table. In the future we will have an option "Share statistics as PDF", there you will get a pretty formatted PDF as an attachment.

GREAT JOB !! So far love it.

GREAT JOB !! So far love it. Used this past weekend and found some comments, questions, requests:
Question 1 - I erroneously entered opening score of 1 thinking it represented sets, oops. Once I began scoring I could not change this. Is it possible to edit that? if not, be nice to be able to in the future.
Question 2 - how do I delete players?

Comment/requests - be VERY helpful, in doubles, to choose which player made the ace, or winner, or error, etc. MUCH more beneficial stats.
Also, nice to support player photos & USTA # & ranking.
Thnx so much, be happy to buy such an app.

Hello,

This is an excellent app. A couple of suggestions:

1. Ability to setup players line up before the match and save.

2. Ability to add more doubles matches. The app only allows two double matches.

Thank you,

Carlos

Hi Carlos, 1. Pls explain

Hi Carlos,

1. Pls explain what do you mean with "Ability to setup players line up before the match and save"

2. There are no restrictions on the number of double matches! Why do you think that the app only allows two of such?

BTW for feature requests better use info@tennis-math.com than this blog.

Best regards,

HI - I love the application.

HI - I love the application. It is very well done and I advertise it as much as I can in my club.

Refering to the question from "Mauri" above: "Question 2 - how do I delete players?" and the response "Hi Mauri, thanx for your feedbacks. Already replied you per email."...can you actually post the answer as I really can't find a way to do that? may be it is by design to not damage the stats but I'd like to get rid at least of the initial players that have been downloaded.

Thanks.

Hi - Olivier again. I just

Hi - Olivier again. I just struck me as I saved the previous question on deleting players: If you delete all the matches involving the players to delete, then once you go on the player a Delete option appears...Solved!!! :-)

But the only reason why I thought of it was because I thought of the relational aspect of the database which probably impose this constraint/security. Not sure if this is documented somewhere and I missed it, but if not, I bet others will want to know how to do it.

Again: great app!!
Shame I can't keep the sart phone in my pocket while playing to track myself the points...may be with a bluetooth remote trigger or something it could be possible (a bit sci fi I know :-))

Ciao.

Downloaded the application

Downloaded the application this weekend for my daughter's tournament.
I like your business model.

The tennis stat program is very good, very well thought out. Someone either knows and/or listens to someone with true tennis knowledge.

Tried to make a donation, but I only understand the PayPal in English.
I hope to get you a donation somehow for your excellent product.

This program has the potential to be the best statistical coaching tool on the market with the addition of some vital functionality.

I have sent an email in the hopes of corresponding these ideas to you.

These ideas were developed and used when I was the TV Statistician for Wimbledon, US Open, Australian Open, etc. But many of these ideas have never been incorporated into a stat package. As a result, I did them by hand for the TV announcers.

These ideas are crucial for complete development of the player.

I look forward to speaking with you when you return from vacation.

All the best,

Raymond

Hi Raymond,

Nice App. Just one

Nice App. Just one suggestion: it would be nice to list all the points in a table and allow user to manually change it. This would be easier for correcting errors instead undo point by point.

11. July 2011 - 21:08 — admin

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. Editing match log in a table may be nice idea but as for now it seems to be too complicated both to use and to implement.
Very soon we will introduce the "Adjust current score" option, where the user will be able to catch up with the score if she missed a part of the game.

Problem with scores: i was logging scores today & altho the overall score is correct, the stats break down was missing from the whole of the 3rd set and the score in the break down part was incorrect. Ie 3rd set scores completely blank, other sets the pt by pt part is ok, but at the bottom the score does not tally & awards set to wrong player. The correct info was logged & as I said the overall match result is correct. Can you help.

Also when a match begins I had to keep p
Pressing about 5 times who was serving first.
