Performance analysis data is used to shape players' practices, helping them to focus on the strategies and tactics they need to develop or improve to help them to perform better next time.
Individual practice
Being able to serve effectively in tennis is critical to winning games. With many serves being 125 mph or more, technology is essential to help tennis players to analyse their own and their opponents' serves.

Team practice
Most Premier League clubs now use match analysis tools.

This enables teams to plan and practise set moves and to improve their tactical awareness and decision-making within games.
