Ep. 2 - Analytics for High School Singles with McKay Bruse
During the past season, McKay Bruse worked with the Maeser Prep girls' tennis team to analyze data from over 1000 singles points.
Today on the Løve Tennis Podcast, McKay discusses three of the most impactful insights he learned from that data including:
The most effective serve placement.
The most important thing to remember about returning serve.
The optimal rally lengths for servers.
While the data McKay analyzed was surrounding a handful of specific players, it provides a great starting point for anyone beginning to analyze their own game.
