HYPERTENNIS AT THE PTR ITALIA RACQUETS SPORTS FORUM 2024: A REVOLUTION IN TENNIS TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT
Tennis already has advanced tools capable of analyzing whether a ball is in or out, or how fast it travels — but imagine being able to gain detailed insights into a player’s technical motions. That’s HyperTennis: an innovative system that redefines how players train and improve their performance. The technology was among the highlights of the PTR Italia Racquets Forum 2024, where founder Andrea Candusso — international stringer and consultant to ATP champions — presented its groundbreaking capabilities.
The Limits of Traditional Solutions
Today, most tennis technologies focus on:
• Point validation – determining whether a point is valid.
• Statistics – collecting numerical data about the match.
• Video recording – capturing footage for later review.
• Subjective coaching analysis – interpretations based on personal experience.
However, what’s still missing is a system that can:
• Deliver objective, precise, and automated data on player movements.
• Export and compare data for future analysis.
• Build a personalized database for each athlete.
In essence, even with video tools and software, coaches often find themselves in the same position as when they used to jot down notes in a notebook. Subjectivity still dominates, limiting the ability to optimize technique and prevent injuries.
HyperTennis: Where Technology Meets Performance
HyperTennis is the result of integrating advanced knowledge in physics, mechanics, biomechanics, anthropometry, and tennis technique with the latest technologies in data & motion capture, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
The system can analyze:
• Player body movements through wearable devices.
• Strokes (forehand, backhand, and serve) using high-definition cameras.
• Joint angles and body segment trajectories with scientific precision.
Objective and Personalized Data: A New Standard for Tennis
Thanks to a protocol developed in collaboration with the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation (FITP), HyperTennis uses a set of advanced algorithms to track every player movement. Each piece of information is processed and returned as key performance parameters, defining the ideal execution model and offering a competitive edge at both amateur and professional levels.
Why HyperTennis Is Revolutionary
• Objective data: supporting the coach’s expertise and the player’s feel with measurable insights.
• Data portability: building an exportable database for long-term analysis.
• Personalization: providing specific, player-centered recommendations.
• Integration of advanced technologies: combining cameras and sensors for a complete, multidimensional analysis.
Innovation at the Service of Tennis
HyperTennis is more than just technology — it’s a new approach to training and performance. At the PTR Italia Racquets Forum 2024, we showcased how our system can improve technique, optimize performance, and ensure player health, redefining the standards of modern tennis.
