Wanna beat Andy Murray? 10 gadgets and apps to improve your tennis game
With Wimbledon starting today, it’s that time of year again: when British people kid ourselves that we’re going to be the next Heather Watson or Andy Murray, start batting some balls around at the local park, and then realise that tennis is a lot harder than it looks on TV. But if you’re a serious player, or you want some incentive to keep up with your new favourite hobby, here are some gadgets, apps, and accessories that we think are ace. (Sorry.)
RacquetTune
If you have an especially strong swing, you'll want to take care not to bash your phone or tablet's screen to pieces with this simple but handy addition to your tennis toolbox. The RacquetTune app, as you might have guessed from the name, will measure the frequency at which your racket (or racquet) strings ping so you can check their tension. Just open the app, place your racket over your device, and tap it gently.
It's £1.99 for iPhone or iPad from the iTunes Store or £1.40 if you have an Android device.
