HYPERTENNIS: THE STARTUP THAT BOOSTS PERFORMANCE THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 

Andrea Candusso, founder of HyperTennis, tennis coach and National FITP Technician, explains why — as a coach — he felt the need to create a system that could analyze player performance and technique not only based on personal experience, but also through objective, data-driven insights captured on court and processed with the help of artificial intelligence.

A Scientific Approach to Tennis

Introducing a scientific approach to tennis makes it possible to collect, analyze, store, and compare data — thus objectively measuring each player’s progress as a result of the coaches’ work and their technical programming.

At the heart of the HyperTennis system lies a sophisticated network of cameras and wearable sensors that capture every technical motion during the execution of fundamental strokes.

These data are then processed by an AI-powered software platform, developed in collaboration with the Politecnico di Torino, of which HyperTennis has become an official spin-off.

Turning Data into Better Coaching

Thanks to this advanced technology, coaches can accurately identify key areas for improvement across the different phases of each stroke — ready position, preparation, acceleration, impact, and follow-through.

This allows them to design targeted training programs and share tangible progress reports with players and their families.

From Elite Training to Everyone’s Game

The first to benefit from this scientific approach will be the competitive players of the Circolo della Stampa Sporting in Turin. However, starting from November 2024, HyperTennis will also open its doors to individual testing sessions for adults and juniors, offering all tennis enthusiasts the chance to discover their strengths and weaknesses through concrete, data-based feedback.
