OUR MISSON
In 2020, when COVID-19 shut down tennis courts, Toni Ulčar, a tennis lover and engineer, found inspiration. With no way to play or train with others, he wanted to help players keep improving, even on their own.
Toni tried using regular ball machinea but found it boring and far from the excitement of a real opponent. Driven by his love for tennis and his desire to help players, Toni set out to create something better—a machine that felt more like playing with a partner.
Working from home, he built the first Sportbot prototype, a tennis ball machine that could move around, launch balls with different spins and speeds, and mimic a real opponent. Using a simple app, players could program Sportbot and train anytime, anywhere.
Sportbot was born during the challenges of the pandemic, driven by Toni’s passion for helping players and coaches improve their tennis in new and exciting ways.
