Hi Tennis lover,
I built Tennis Smash to be a clean, reliable, and distraction-free way to keep score directly from your wrist, so you can stay focused on the match. This app is designed to handle the classic flow of tennis while supporting the modern scoring variations used in clubs and tournaments today.
