ATP and Sense Arena are set to introduce the ATP Tour Sense Arena, a co-branded platform that will revolutionize the way tennis players of all levels approach their training routines. This platform, operated using a Meta Quest 2 Headset paired with a haptic racket, will offer cutting-edge VR training applications. ATP Tour Sense Arena aims to complement on-court training by offering drills that improve players’ cognitive, tactical, and visualization skills. With the guidance of an esteemed Advisory Board that includes former professional players and ATP/WTA coaches, this platform is poised to become an indispensable tool for players at all levels.
