Court view, serving questions and the Status button

Tennis Time can draw the court on your watch with the server, the receiver and the score, so nobody argues about who serves next. It shows at the start, after games, and before each serve if you want, and it asks a quick question when a doubles pair serves for the first time.

The court view

The court fills the screen with your end at the bottom, the names on their sides, the score, the server's spot and the line of the serve into the receiver's box. It hides by itself after a few seconds, or when you tap it.

Court view on Apple Watch: a clay court with Mike at the top and You at the bottom, 15-30, and the serve line
Singles: you serve to Mike.
Court view for doubles with Emily and Jake at the top, You and Sarah at the bottom, 30-40
Doubles: who serves to whom.

Choose when the court shows

  1. On Home, tap Settings, then Overlays.
  2. Under Court, tap After every point, After every game or Off.
Overlays settings with Court options After every point, After every game and Off

After every point shows the court before each serve once the serve is known. After every game shows it between games only.

Serving questions

In doubles, the watch needs to know who serves and who receives on each side. When a pair serves for the first time, it asks.

  1. "Marshel is serving?" Tap Yes, or No to choose who does.
  2. "Who receives first?" Tap the player on the receiving side who takes the deuce court.
Serving question: Marshel is serving, with Yes and No buttons

Each pair is asked once. Play waits for the answer, and the back button returns to the previous question. In Settings > Overlays > Serving questions choose Servers and receivers, Receivers only, or Off if you set everything on the Serving tab before the match.

The Status button

When Status button is on, a yellow Status button sits under the score cards. Tap it to see the court again, even with the court view off. It appears once the serve is known.
