In 2020, when COVID-19 closed tennis courts around the world, players were left without partners, routines, or motivation. Among them was Toni Ulčar, an engineer and passionate tennis player who refused to stop improving.

To him, traditional ball machines felt repetitive and lifeless. They couldn’t replicate the rhythm, challenge, or unpredictability of a real opponent. So Toni decided to build something different.

He created the Sportbot, a moving, intelligent tennis ball launcher designed to mimic real match play. It moves, adapts, and challenges players just like a true partner would.

Today, Sportbot helps players and coaches of all levels train smarter and improve faster. Toni’s mission remains simple: make advanced training accessible to everyone who loves the game.
