Sport Stats ® - Tennis © is a feature rich software
that collects tennis match data and generates detailed match
statistics. It allows tennis players of all levels, coaches
and tennis parents to visualize, analyze and manage tennis
matches in order to improve their game.
Most
likely you are familiar with IBM provided tennis statistics
during major ATP/WTA tournaments. With this PDA Sport Statistics
- Tennis software you can do it yourself, better, anytime
and anywhere... please click on the real match stats collected
during 2005 French Open semifinale between Roger Federer
and Rafael Nadal to get idea how this non-expensive tool
can be helpfull in your player or child tennis development.
Federer
Nadal Match (just check Roger's BackHand
errors = 22!)
or
recent 2008 Australian Open Final between Jo Tsonga and
Novak Djokovic - all available stats as:
Please
check Djokovic 2nd serve stats in 2nd and 4th set (both
78% winning) and in my opinion this was a reason why he
took home his first Grand Slam trophy!
PDA
Sport Statistics - Tennis was originally developed for Sharp
Zaurus SL-5500. Then in 2005
it was ported into PalmOS devices
and
in 2006 was released for Pocket PC PDAs.
In 2007 Pocket PC version 3.3 was just released with a major
change to collect Forced and Unforced Errors (see Screen.)
There
are now 3 statistics available:
Few
words from an expert about this product:
PDA
Stats had developed the most useful and useable tool for
the serious tennis player since the ball machine. To really
get better, a player needs accurate information. PDA Stats
for Tennis is the single best way I know to get that verified
information. As a collegiate coach and teaching pro, I give
it my highest recommendation.

It's
the best program I've seen so far, especially for the price.

The
pdasportstats program has been a valuable tool for our boys'
tennis development. It is easy to use, reliable, allows
printouts of the match statistics, and makes review of matches
with the boys a comprehensive experience.
With
the available statistics, they can identify areas of weakness,
focus on these weak areas, and then see
the positive results in subsequent matches. It provides
great feedback for the player and coach.

The
software is great. Very easy to use. I am very happy with
this product.

I
love this software! I used it tonight in a tournament my
husband is playing in our club. Its the first time I've
used it on anyone other than my son. I had lots of people
asking me about it and where I got it. I am printing a copy
of tonight's stats and taking it to several people tomorrow
who are interested in the software. It is really easy to
use and the results are interesting and helpful. Thanks
- great stuff!

BTW
- I think the PBP (PlayByPlay) feature is awesome. I can
print that off for my sons and then circle number of times
the opponent claimed more than three consecutive points
in a row (I've heard this called a momentum shift). It's
amazing in juniors how the train can fall off the track
and half-a-dozen points can be 'gifted' to the opponent.
Your PBP feature should be posted on the grand slams - it's
great.

I've
been using your program for almost 2 years now ... and because
of it, I was able to illustrate to my son, that despite
having switched to a one-handed backhand, the majority of
his errors were coming from his forehand. We then geared
practices to improving forehand consistency (and reducing
UEs) while also continuing to improve backhand mechanics
and strength. Additionally, we noted a lack of Aces and
Winners in the serve category. We put more emphasis on serves,
and those stats improved as well. Numbers don't lie, and
we had a substantial database to draw from in order to gear
practices accordingly. Your program has been an invaluable
tool in improving his tennis game! For that matter,
I don't leave home without it and ensure my PDA's battery
is always charged!

One
of the ways our program continues to function on the cutting
edge of collegiate tennis technology is by using a software
program to compile meaningful player match statistics that
can be reviewed by players and coaches after each home match.
With a small group of statisticians, headed by Jack Amos,
these stats sheets are presented to coaches and players
within 48 hours after any home match. We are fortunate to
be working with such useful tennis statistical software.
If you, as high school coaches, are interested in learning
more about this software that is available to your program
please visit this web site for details:

I believe you will find this easy to use software well worth
the small purchasing price. It can be used for tournament
or team match play. The concrete evidence of how each player
faired during match play is invaluable for planning practice
sessions in the future. If you visit the website and have
any specific questions about the tennis statistical software,
that is very easy to use, please feel free to pose any quesitons
you might have to me.
