Prepare for Wimbledon tennis with these Android apps
Although EURO 2012[1] and the NBA Finals are in full swing (and the upcoming London Olympics is grabbing most of the headlines), we would be well served to pay attention to Wimbledon 2012, which begins next week. The oldest and most regal Grand Slam tennis tournament is in its 126th magnificent year. Here are some free Android apps you will love to download to get ready for all the action.
There is no official Android Wimbledon app just yet, though one is promised on the official Wimbledon site[2]. So, until then and perhaps beyond, Wimbledon Grand Slam Tennis is a worthwhile download. The app is great for the tennis fanatic and features the latest news, scores, results, schedule and more. Though it’s not the official app, there is plenty of content here like photos, stats, player profiles and even a chat room.
Here is a nifty way to listen to a variety of live broadcasts from Wimbledon during the tournament itself. You can also catch up with Wimbledon podcasts featuring the players once matches are over. The app is a handy companion if you’re away from the computer or TV, as it also includes news, results, scores and match schedules so you know when to tune-in to listen to your favorite players in action.
Many Wimbledon fans enjoy tennis year-round, so here’s an app that will be useful once the tournament is done. ATP/WTA Live is the official app of the ATP World Tour and World Tennis Association and mainly concentrates on scores in real-time from all the big tennis tournaments worldwide. You’ll also find live stats, draws, rankings, player bios and more. While it doesn’t cover Grand Slam tournaments like Wimbledon, for tennis fans it still serves up an ace.
The United States Tennis Association is the governing body of tennis in the U.S. This official app allows everyone to access public and private content posted on the USTA’s Dartfish TV channel for free. You’ll get to see the professionals in action plus experts speaking on tennis-specific topics such as strength and conditioning, mental toughness and training. Players, parents and coaches should find a lot of value here â€" the route to Grand Slam glory at Wimbledon starts here!
