A Closer Look at Tennis Tech: The Must Have Free App for Tennis Players

There are dozens of Apps that make your life easier. Facebook helps you keep in touch with friends, Google Maps helps you find your way around, and Linkedin helps you with your professional network.

But what about the App that makes life easier for tennis players?

ZOGOtennis is the first App to connect tennis players so that finding a great partner and organizing games is easier than ever before.

After launching last month, the App has been spreading fast across the city’s tennis community. Now it’s available across over 800 clubs and public courts in New York City and Long Island, plus it’s completely free.

The idea came from a typical experience of playing tennis in NYC. Frustrated with all the difficulties of getting on the court, the company’s co-founders, Eliot Jenkins and David Berman, thought that things should be a lot easier.

“After moving to NYC I had no one to play with,” said Berman. “The best thing I had was a pin board of names at my local club!”

Eliot spent two years building up a regular group of partners “and even then it was always a challenge to set up a game with the right partner at a time that suited us both.”

Thousands of people play at the average club in New York, so it isn’t the number of tennis players that’s the problem. The problem is that out of those thousands of players, the average tennis player can only reach out to a handful of them. That’s why Eliot and David created ZOGOtennis.

Your network for tennis
ZOGOtennis works by bringing together people who play at the same club or public park. After signing up, you can instantly see everyone who plays where you do–your local tennis network.

But instead of just listing everyone who plays at certain courts, Eliot and David realized that ZOGOtennis could go one step further by helping people find the right partners for them more easily than ever before.

Now finding a partner is easy with ZOGOmatch
With ZOGOtennis you have another option if your regular partner pulls out, gets injured, or even if you need a fourth for your doubles game. Just tap to use ZOGOmatch and the App will do all the hard work for you by finding players with the same skill, availability, and more.

“ZOGOmatch works and our data shows that it usually takes only a few minutes to get a match,” said Berman. “The feedback we’ve been getting from tennis players has been really exciting.”

Organizing a game has never been so easy
Whether you are playing your regular partners or using ZOGOmatch, it only takes 30 seconds to setup a game with the App. It sends out all the invites for you so that messy e-mail chains and texts are a thing of the past.

“Seeing people invite their friends and find new partners has been great but what’s been really remarkable is seeing people play games that wouldn’t have been possible without ZOGOtennis,” said Eliot. “That’s making a difference that we are really proud of.”

It’s an impressive App that’s free, easy to use, and long overdue for tennis players everywhere.
