OVERVIEW
During my coursework, I was inspired to develop this tennis application after witnessing the
frustrations experienced by some of my close friends. I wanted to create something meaningful and
practical, an app that would address real-life challenges and enhance the tennis-
playing experience for myself and others.

User Research
To ensure the optimal user experience for tennis partner-finding applications, I conducted a survey involving 16 men and 2 women, seeking insights into their specific challenges and preferences.
Leveraging insights gathered from the survey, I developed features addressing users' needs and providing solutions to their original problems. For example, I emphasized the importance of selecting a partner with a matching skill level. Additionally, recognizing that many participants expressed interest in playing doubles, I incorporated this option into the application as well.
