This year’s
ISPO Munich 2025 marks a milestone for sports technology enthusiasts and tennis professionals alike. As the global hub for cutting-edge sports innovations, ISPO is the perfect stage for Acemate, an innovation that goes far beyond any ordinary
tennis ball machine on the market today. Its arrival sets a new benchmark for AI-powered tennis technology.
Why ISPO 2025 Matters
Award-Winning Innovation
Acemate has already received multiple recognitions for its innovation, including the 2025 ISPO Award, making it a must-see exhibit. This recognition reinforces Acemate’s position as a pioneer in
smart tennis ball machines, offering not just a tennis training tool but a fully AI-driven system that redefines what a
tennis ball machine can be for coaches, clubs, and schools worldwide.
What Makes Acemate Stand Out
Here’s a deeper dive into what
Acemate actually does, and why it’s more than “just another
tennis ball machine.”
Unlike traditional tennis ball machines that simply launch balls, Acemate uses binocular 4K vision and AI visual tracking to capture depth, speed, trajectory, and spin — much like human eyes. This enables precise 3D tracking and real-time analysis with centimeter-level accuracy, enabling a realistic tennis rally experience created by a robot.

Full Mobility — Moves, Catches, Returns
Equipped with four Mecanum wheels with metal‑core and rubber treads, Acemate can move smoothly across the court and adjust its position dynamically after each shot. Coupled with a catch-net mechanism, it doesn’t just launch — it actually catches incoming balls and returns them.
User can choose between rally mode (simulating real match play) and serve mode — including high serves, targeted serves, and pre-programmed serves. Serve mode supports a variety of shot types: flat, topspin, slice, and even high lobs up to 8 m.
- Adaptive & Respondsive Play
Because Acemate tracks real-time shot data and movement, it can adapt to the player’s speed, positioning, and style. That means sessions become dynamic and realistic — not repetitive and predictable like classic tennis ball machines.
- AI Tennis Coach Functionality + Data + Feedback
Through the Acemate app, users get personal training data: ball speed, spin, placement, hit timing, shot distribution, etc. For advanced players, these stats help refine strategy; for beginners, video playback and feedback help improve form and consistency.
In short: Acemate isn’t a simple
tennis machine — it’s designed to simulate real match conditions, react adaptively, and provide intelligence & feedback — bringing together the roles of rally partner + coach + data analyst in one device.
On-Site Experiences and Interactive Benefits
Visitors to ISPO Munich will have the unique opportunity to experience Acemate firsthand and test the Real Rally AI Tennis Robot live, and experience adaptive gameplay.
This hands-on experience ensures that attendees leave with a deep understanding of how AI can enhance tennis training.
Implications for the Tennis Training Industry
