Match Setup

With Record -> Match Setup you start a new Match Recording. There are four things you have to fill out: "Player 1", "Player 2", "Choose Player who begins to serve" and "Choose Player who begins on top".

Players are grouped into three categories: First, "Own Players" which normally represent the players you are training. Then "Unknown Player" which serves as a placeholder, is created by Tennis Analyzer and can't be deleted or edited. This player can be used if you do not want to track an opposing player. Finally "Other Players" where you can store opposing players you want to know by name.

"Choose Player who begins to serve" determines who will make the first serve. "Choose Player who begins on top" determines which player will be on the upper end of the recording screen. You can see how this will look via the "Court preview" on the bottom right. Keep in mind that the recoding will always happen in portrait mode (the Home Button is under the screen).

Set 3

7-Point Tie-break at 6-6: The third set will be determined by a 7 tie-break if the score is 6-6.
Match Tie-break up to 10: The third set will be played as a single tie-break up to 10.

Match Record

Protocol

Each play of the current rally is displayed in the protocol.

Score

The score is automatically updated. You can also see the currently serving player, the date and the duration. The duration is determined by the moment you press "Start Match Recording" and end of the match (naturally through a winner or through "Exit"). The duration keeps running even when the app is not active.

The Court / Positioning a Play

The court is where you position a play by tapping once (Forehand) or twice (Backhand). The target area of the next shot is always highlighted. This is only a visualization, it has nothing to do wether the play is valid. This is solely determined by the buttons on the right and Tennis Analyzer will automatically adjust the position so you don't have to be overly precise.

The Buttons

Undo: Remove as many of your actions (taps on the court or presses of buttons) one-by-one from the match as you wish. Even over games and sets. There is no "redo" though, you have to take the correct actions again.

End Rally

Every rally has to be ended with one of these three buttons. They change their title between service and normal play.

Service Ace / Winner: The Player who made this play wins the rally with an Ace (Service) or a Winner (normal play).

Service Winner / Forced Point: The Player who made this play wins the rally with a Winner (Service) or a Forced Point (normal play).

Service Fault / Unforced Error: The Player who made this play will either be give a fault (Service), double fault (Second Service) or an unforced error (normal play). The opposing Player will win the rally.
