Every sport will change dramatically over the next few years, and untalented players like me would have had a much better chance now than back in the 1980s. Damn, why am I so old?
So darn cool seeing your biomechanics vs the prosView quoted post on X

Interesting way to map that. Curious if that will change in the future, when people won't have anything to do and will start travelling in less-known regions.
Half of Europe's tourist nights happen in just 102 of its 1,247 regions

Coaching in any sports will never be the same. I am planning a comeback after almost 10 years. Let's go!
I grew up playing tennis competitively, and two years ago, before two kids, I was still pretty good (9 UTR). I’ve been getting back into it, but I wish I had a world-class coach telling me what to work on. But good coaches are expensive, selective, and hard to find, whereas models are cheap, available, and should be already good enough. So clearly, @nicochristie and I needed to explore what's possible.
We chained open-source models post-trained on tennis. This cut each broadcast down to live play, found and tracked the players, ball, court, and labeled every stroke with its type and a 65-joint skeleton. We then post-processed this data into 30+ biomechanical traits across serves, forehands and backhands, normalized for each player’s build and the camera.
This included the goat @DjokerNole, @carlosalcaraz, @DaniilMedwed, @FTiafoe, @AlexZverev, @BenShelton, @Taylor_Fritz97, @NickKyrgios, @AndreyRublev97, @janniksin, and @TommyPaul1.
Using the same pipeline, we then processed phone footage of myself and @phamrich_ (ex-D1, used to be >13 UTR) playing. Then we gave Claude all the measurements with a blank context.
What impressed me:
- Without being told, it found my weaker side (forehand) and Richard’s (backhand)
- It joined differences that looked separate into one root cause per stroke
- My own diagnosis of my forehand was wrong. Claude’s makes a lot more sense
What do you think? @bgtennisnation @paul_annacone @darren_cahill
