Gregory Gettinger: A New Dimension of Tennis Has Arrived

By Gregory Gettinger, PhD

From realistic tennis training in your living room to tactical decision-making, live spectators, international championships, and new opportunities for sponsors — Tennis Esports is bringing the worlds of real and virtual tennis closer together than ever before.

This Is No Longer Just VR Tennis. This Is Tennis.

Imagine stepping onto a tennis court whenever you want. No court reservation. No travel. No weather restrictions. Just you, your racket, and the ball.

For thousands of tennis enthusiasts, this is already a reality.

With Tennis Esports, players can practice real tennis movements from their living rooms, competing on virtual courts against virtual balls that behave remarkably like their real-world counterparts.

What makes Tennis Esports different from conventional VR sports games is its uncompromising ambition: to bring virtual tennis as close as possible to the real sport.

Behind this achievement are four years of research and development in collaboration with the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien). Advanced ball physics, realistic racket interactions, and sophisticated movement systems have brought the experience to an extraordinary level of authenticity.

The result is something that goes far beyond traditional gaming.

It's real tennis — in a virtual world.

From Training to Technique: Your Personal Tennis Coach

One of the most remarkable innovations on the Tennis Esports platform is TechZone, a training environment designed to help players develop their tennis technique.

Rather than simply hitting hundreds of balls, players can work on their forehand and backhand systematically, stroke by stroke.

Guillaume Grimel: Fantasy sports in Europe - growth and innovation in the sports business.
(Translated from French)

A quick recap of the concept:

Fantasy sports are much more than just an online game. They offer every fan the chance to step into the role of a coach or a sporting director. You build your own virtual team using professional players, compete against friends or thousands of strangers, and experience every match with a whole new level of intensity.
