Tennis Video Analysis: Improve Your Game with The SmartView Player
In professional sports, watching video is an important part of training. Football teams break down plays. Basketball players study their shooting mechanics and golfers analyze their swings frame by frame on video.
Tennis should be no different.
Many players rely on how a match feels rather than what actually happened. That’s a problem because emotions can change how we feel about our performance. Video analysis offers an objective look at your game, revealing patterns and mistakes you might not notice when you play. More and more players have started to rely on tennis video systems to improve their performance.
How Video Analysis in Tennis Helps Players Improve
By analyzing the video from your tennis matches, you can:
Identify tactical patterns – What shots set up your winning points? What mistakes do you repeat?
Analyze shot selection – Are you making the right decisions under pressure?
Fix technical flaws – Is your footwork balanced? Is your swing consistent?
Track progress over time – Are you actually improving, or just feeling like you are?
But raw match footage isn’t enough. Watching an entire match, with long breaks between points, can be time-consuming. What if you could filter only the most important moments and analyze them instantly?
That’s exactly what Zenniz’s SmartView Player does.

Filter Video by Shot Type
Not all shots are equally important. Sometimes, you only want to see your backhands, or maybe you need to analyze every return of serve. The SmartView Player lets you filter footage based on shot type, so you can:
✅ Focus on a specific stroke – Watch only your forehands, backhands, or volleys.
✅ Analyze winning shots vs. errors – See what leads to success or failure.
✅ Study serve +1 or serve +2 scenarios – The first shots after the serve often decide the point.
This level of targeted analysis makes video analysis in tennis far more effective.
Traditional match recordings include a lot of downtime. Walking between points, towel breaks, etc. SmartView automatically cuts out dead time, leaving you with a fast-paced, efficient tennis video of your match.
Live Streaming & Instant Replay
Beyond match review, SmartView Player also allows you to:
🔴 Live-stream matches in high quality to YouTube
📺 Save and replay footage instantly
