Tennis Tracked From Ball Toss to Final Bounce

Khel.ai calls the lines, reads the serve and rebuilds every rally on clay, hard and grass, so coaches and chair umpires work from the same tracked point.

What Khel.ai Does for Tennis

Built on the sport, not bolted on to it

01

Electronic line calling

Ten calibrated cameras triangulate the bounce on baselines, sidelines and service boxes, with foot-fault and net-cord let detection running on the same feed.

  • Baseline and sideline calls
  • Service box and let calls
  • Foot-fault view at both ends
  • Chair umpire tablet override
02

Serve speed and placement

Speed is read from the tracked trajectory, then logged with contact height, toss drift and landing zone, so a coach can see where the T serve is slipping.

  • First and second serve split
  • T, body and wide zones
  • Kick, slice and flat serves
  • Contact height and toss drift
03

Rally construction

Each point is cut into serve, return, serve plus one and the rally beyond, with court position, shot count and the stroke that finally ended it.

  • Serve plus one outcomes
  • Return depth and direction
  • Rally length by shot count
  • Point-ending shot tagging
04

Surface-aware shot models

Bounce behaviour is modelled per surface, so a clay kick, a hard court skid and a low grass bounce are read as themselves rather than averaged into one figure.

  • Clay, hard and grass profiles
  • Spin rate in rpm
  • Net clearance and depth
  • Ball mark reconstruction

Capture to Insight

How a tennis fixture becomes data you can act on

  1. 1

    Calibrate

    Court lines, net height at the centre strap and the day's surface are surveyed once, so the model knows the exact court before the first serve.

  2. 2

    Capture

    Ten shuttered cameras genlocked on the court rig record both ends at 340 fps, under floodlights or in direct sunlight.

  3. 3

    Track

    The ball is followed through toss, contact, net crossing and bounce, and every strike is classified as slice, topspin, flat, volley or smash.

  4. 4

    Call

    The call reaches the chair umpire's tablet and the stadium speaker in under half a second, and the tagged point lands in Takneek for the coach.

Tennis Questions

What federations, clubs and academies ask us about tennis

Yes. The tracked bounce is reconstructed next to the physical mark, so the chair umpire can compare both on the tablet before confirming a call. Mark reconstruction is recalibrated after each watering and rolling of the court.
