Introduction
• This research is done in order to expand our knowledge, and learn
about new trends and technologies for the execution of the sport of
tennis, for this is a detailed analysis of the databases of the university,
research articles and other trusted platforms.
Ojo de Halcón- Hawk-Eye
• It is a technological tool that uses a set of cameras and sensors to determine
whether or not the ball has touched the line in a shot or serve, was
implemented in 2006, is of British origin and was first used in cricket and
snooker.
• What is the hawk eye in tennis and how does it work?
Its function, to clarify where exactly the balls bounced. This allows umpires to
see whether a ball landed inside or outside the boundaries of a court. To
achieve this, the Hawk-Eye technology checks the trajectory and speed of the
tennis ball; making it an extremely accurate measurement. Hawk-Eye requires
10 cameras located on the court to function properly. These cameras are
connected to computers that do all the calculations to see where the ball hit.
• The program creates the image and transmits it to television so that both judges
and viewers can see the result live. Best of all, the margin of error of this machine
is only 2 to 3 millimeters. Therefore, it is quite difficult for it to fail and flagrantly
harm a tennis player.

The hawk eye is not used on clay

courts. On clay the bounces of
the ball are clearly reflected on
the surface and the referees
prefer to stop the match and go
and have a closer look in case of
doubt or at the request of a
player.

Roland Garros or
Monte Carlo do not
use this technology
FOXTENN
• He has created a new video refereeing
system that has already been approved by
the ATP and WTA, including the 4 Grand
Slams of the year, uses some 40 high-speed
cameras, each capturing more than 2,500
images per second. The first difference is that
Hawk-Eye has cameras that capture actual
images of the bounce of the ball and do not These cameras also capture players' movements and
rely on the trajectory of the ball. Its margin serve to analyze their behavior on the court.

• This collected data can be visualized
through an app on your smartphone
or tablet. The data is passed from the
racquet to the device via bluetooth
or via USB, and gives you a statistic of
hitting power, spin, speed, strength,
etc., which can be used to improve
some parameters of the racquet
user's tennis game.
The statistics of your tennis game
• The racquet is able to record data
such as forehand, backhand, serves

important things about your
