Every day, hundreds of shots are uploaded to OnCourtAI. The platform processes each upload — tracking joint angles, swing paths, contact points and footwork patterns — and turns that raw data into actionable coaching insights. But what happens to all of that collective knowledge? What can you learn from the aggregated performance of hundreds of players who hit their forehands today? That is exactly the question that led to Court Report by OnCourtAI.

What Is Court Report by OnCourtAI?

Court Report is a weekly AI-generated podcast that turns the anonymised data collected by OnCourtAI into a genuine coaching conversation. Each episode is produced fresh every week from the real performance patterns our platform captures — no generic scripts, no recycled tips. If players on the platform have been struggling with their serve trophy position this week, you will hear about it on Court Report. If the data shows an improvement in backhand drive accuracy following a particular coaching drill, the hosts will discuss what the numbers actually mean and what you can do about it.

The result is a podcast that is genuinely different from anything else in tennis media. It is not based on what a production team thinks players might find interesting. It is based on what players are actually doing on court, right now.

Meet the Hosts

Court Report has three permanent hosts, each bringing a distinct perspective to the data — and to tennis coaching more broadly.

Coach Chris

Coach Chris is a warm, practical ex-club coach with decades of experience helping players of all levels. He has spent his career breaking down technique in plain English and always has a drill ready to get you improving right away. On Court Report, Coach Chris is the voice of everyday coaching reality — translating the AI data into the kind of tangible, actionable advice that players can take onto the court at their next session. When the data shows that 68% of club players are early in their backswing on the forehand, Coach Chris does not just note the statistic; he explains the three most likely causes and gives you a shadow swing drill to fix it before your next match.

Alex

Alex is a former touring professional who competed on the WTA circuit. She brings a competitive edge to the show, drawing on real tour experience to explain what separates club players from the pros — and what you can actually do about it. Alex is brilliant at contextualising the OnCourtAI data against professional standards. When the platform data shows average club player serve speed and she can compare it to what a WTA second serve looks like biomechanically, the gap becomes both clear and — importantly — bridgeable. She is direct, driven and genuinely invested in helping every player who listens raise their ceiling.

Dr Sam

Dr Sam is a sports psychologist specialising in racquet sports performance. She helps players build the mental game to match their physical training — covering confidence, habit formation, competition anxiety and long-term motivation. On Court Report, Dr Sam adds a dimension that most tennis coaching content ignores entirely: the relationship between psychological state and biomechanical output. The AI data can show when a player's contact point migrates forward under pressure, when their swing shortens in a tight third set, or when their movement patterns become erratic late in a match. Dr Sam helps listeners understand what those patterns mean and how to address them off the court so they disappear on it.

How Each Episode Is Generated

The production of Court Report is itself powered by AI — but in a way that is grounded in real data rather than generic content generation. Each week, the OnCourtAI platform aggregates the anonymised performance data from the previous week's sessions. This includes stroke-by-stroke metrics, accuracy scores, technique fault frequencies and improvement trends across the player base.

An AI script generation system then analyses this data and identifies the most meaningful patterns — the technique issues that appeared most frequently, the strokes that showed the biggest improvements, the tactical patterns that stand out. It constructs a script that gives each host a distinct voice and perspective on the data, reflecting their backgrounds and coaching philosophies. The voices you hear on the podcast are AI-synthesised versions of Coach Chris, Alex and Dr Sam — consistent, high-quality and recognisable from episode to episode.

The entire pipeline — from raw data to published audio — runs automatically every week. That is how Court Report can publish a genuinely fresh, data-driven episode 52 weeks a year.

What Each Episode Covers

A typical Court Report episode runs for around 10 minutes and follows a consistent structure that listeners quickly come to rely on.

The episode opens with a brief summary of what the OnCourtAI data showed in the previous 24 hours — which strokes were most analysed, what the overall accuracy scores looked like and whether any particular technique issue appeared with unusual frequency. This gives listeners a genuine sense of where the broader player community is right now.

The main segment features a deep dive into one or two specific coaching topics that the data has surfaced. Coach Chris leads the technique discussion, Alex adds the competitive context and Dr Sam rounds out the segment with the psychological dimension. A recent episode, for example, focused on the data showing a widespread deterioration in knee bend during the serve across players who had been training in cold weather — Coach Chris explained the biomechanical cascade that follows when knee bend reduces, Alex compared it to what happens to WTA serves in indoor conditions, and Dr Sam discussed how cold-weather training affects motivation and physical confidence in a way that can change movement patterns even when players are not consciously aware of it.

Each episode concludes with a practical training tip — a specific drill or focus point that listeners can take to their next session based on that day's data.

Why Real Data Makes It Different

Most tennis podcasts are built around opinion and experience. That is not a criticism — the opinions of great coaches and former professionals are genuinely valuable. But there is a limit to how personalised that content can be. A podcast recorded in a studio last month cannot tell you what club players in the UK were struggling with on their backhand volley last Tuesday.

Court Report can. Because it is built on live data from real players, every episode is a genuine reflection of what is happening in tennis right now. If the platform data shows a pattern — and the AI is very good at finding patterns — the podcast will discuss it the next day.

This also means that if you are a regular OnCourtAI user, you are almost certainly contributing to the data that shapes the episodes you listen to. Your sessions, aggregated with thousands of others, feed directly into what Coach Chris, Alex and Dr Sam talk about. It is a genuinely novel kind of coaching relationship — one where the advice you receive is informed by your own performance, even if it reaches you through a podcast rather than a one-to-one session.

Why Every Tennis Player Should Be Listening

Tennis coaching content has never been more abundant, but genuinely useful, personalised coaching has never been harder to find in audio form. Court Report solves that problem. Whether you are a club player trying to understand why your forehand keeps breaking down in matches, a coach looking for data-driven conversation starters for your next session, or a competitive player wanting to understand how your game compares to the broader player population — Court Report has something concrete for you every single day.

The three-host format means you always get the technique perspective, the competitive perspective and the psychological perspective together. That breadth of coverage, grounded in real daily data, makes Court Report genuinely unlike anything else in tennis media.
