Why log your matches?
A match is easy to remember emotionally and surprisingly hard to remember precisely. A simple record gives you something more reliable to compare later: score, opponent, format, surface and whatever additional detail you chose to record.
One match is a snapshot. As your history grows, repeated differences become easier to distinguish from one-off results. You may notice that your hold rate, break rate, win rate, ratings or other recorded measures differ across opponents, surfaces, formats or periods of time.
Those differences are not automatic explanations. They are useful questions to investigate.
A match log can also make practice more specific. Instead of relying only on memory, you can compare recent matches, look for repeated situations and decide what is worth testing next.
There's a mental benefit too. Logging your matches teaches you to look at outcomes without the emotional weight of the moment. A tough loss feels less catastrophic when you can see it sits inside a healthy rolling average. A lucky win feels less meaningful when you check the opponent strength and the conditions. Over months, the log becomes a quiet, honest mirror — not a coach yelling at you, just a record showing where you are and how you've moved.
What Tennis Log tracks
- Match results and win rate, with filters for format, opponent, surface, context and time period.
- Hold percentage — the share of your service games you win when the required game detail is recorded.
- Break percentage — the share of your opponent's service games you win when the required game detail is recorded.
- Serve statistics where recorded, including first- and second-serve outcomes, aces and double faults.
- Opponent and head-to-head history.
- Structured performance ratings and match context.
- Optional smartwatch metrics such as heart rate, calories and duration when the user has explicitly consented to health-data processing.
- AI Insights that surface repeated patterns from privacy-filtered, allowlisted match data.
How it works
- Start a match log. You can begin without an account and create one when you want to save.
- Enter the opponent and at least one set score; add more detail only if you want to.
- Review your statistics as your history grows.
- AI Insights become available after 5 logged matches and generally become more informative as your match history grows.
