MastersCourt
An AI coaching app for adult recreational tennis players (35+) that builds personalized longevity plans drawing on the recovery, conditioning, and match-load patterns of late-career elite athletes like Djokovic.
Recreational tennis players in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who want to keep competing without breaking down
- Personalized weekly training plan that balances court time, mobility, and rest based on age, injury history, and goals
- Match-load monitor that flags overuse risk before small niggles become layoffs (calf tweaks, shoulder strain, etc.)
- Recovery routines modeled on pro tour habits — contrast therapy, sleep targets, micro-strength work — sized to non-pro schedules
- Community challenges like 12-month consistency streaks with age-group leaderboards
