On September 22, the Billie Jean King Cup finals commenced at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center, showcasing a groundbreaking event where tennis player Wang Qiang faced off against the Tenniix ULTRA MAX robot. This robot, developed by Shenzhen companies Zhujie Power and Yinghansi Power, demonstrated advanced capabilities by serving and returning balls in a competitive setting.
The significance of this event lies in the integration of robotics and sports, highlighting the growing market for AI-driven training tools in tennis. With over 100 million tennis participants globally by 2025, and a notable increase in China's tennis population, the demand for innovative training solutions is evident. Companies like Woan Robotics and Yinghansi Power are positioning themselves to meet this demand, with Woan's Acemate S10 already recognized as an official supplier for the 2025 Billie Jean King Cup.
Looking ahead, both companies are focusing on enhancing their products with data analytics and AI coaching services. Yinghansi Power has reported significant sales growth, while Woan Robotics is exploring rental models for its AI tennis robots. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
