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.)

Zepp Tennis Swing Analyser

Picture 8 of 10

This new training system from Zepp consists of an analyser that attaches unobtrusively to any tennis racket and wirelessly sends data on your serve to the integrated app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You can then see how many shots you hit (and how quickly) and how active you were on the court, and track your progress over time. If you're feeling really competitive/masochistic, you can compare your game to other users'. You can even watch a 3D recreation of your swing, so you can spot any areas that need improvement. Coach, schmoach.

It's £129.95 from Apple.
