Playground to podium

One data spine for the entire player journey.

Today a player's development goes dark the moment they leave a lesson. Tennis Twin makes the whole pathway legible โ€” from a beginner finding their competitive twin, to a rising junior spotted in an under-served ZIP code, to shot-level Hawk-Eye intelligence at the very top. The same USTA data, connected end to end, in service of one goal: 35 million players by 2035.

The four pillars โ€” all live in this prototype

01

Find your twin

Explainable, weighted k-NN over WTN, age, win rate, schedule strength and volume finds each player's closest competitive peers.

02

See your gap

Peer-benchmarked comparison to the population one level above โ€” the concrete, defensible way to answer 'what's between me and the next level?'

03

Spot rising talent

A talent radar over 88k ranked juniors plus 'hidden gems' โ€” the fastest risers developing where courts are scarcest.

Access & growth โ†’
04

Pro Shot IQ

US Open Hawk-Eye tracking turned into serve maps, court coverage, pressure performance and next-gen stats โ€” plus a full rally replay.

Who uses it โ€” and who pays

The wedge is player development guidance; the platform is the data spine underneath it.

Built to be trusted

  • โ–ธEvery twin match and gap is explainable โ€” no black box.
  • โ–ธWe refuse to fabricate forecasts the data can't support; insights are peer-benchmarked, not predicted.
  • โ–ธShot IQ numbers are measured from 50 Hz tracking, not estimated.
  • โ–ธHonest about limitations โ€” a single 2025 snapshot, anonymized identities, league-heavy match data.

What unlocks next

  • โ–ธWith the multi-year historical spine USTA already holds: true longitudinal pathway forecasting.
  • โ–ธLLM coaching narratives at scale (the seam is already built) โ€” grounded in each player's real metrics.
  • โ–ธMulti-match Shot IQ across the tour, with computer-vision ingestion of broadcast feeds.
  • โ–ธAn enterprise data layer โ€” a natural fit for IBM watsonx to power forecasting and coaching copilots on governed data.

โ€œGive us the historical spine you already have, and this predicts the pathway.โ€
