Start a singles or doubles match on Apple Watch

The Ready screen

Tap Match on Home. The Ready screen opens with three tabs: Players, Serving and Match. Tap a tab's name, or swipe left or right anywhere on the screen to move between them.

Along the bottom: the back button on the left, the check on the right. The check starts the match and lights up as soon as every tile has a player.

Start a doubles match

1. On Home, tap Match.
2. On the Players tab, use the arrows at the bottom until it reads 4 Players.
3. Your team is the top row, in yellow. The other team is the bottom row, in white. Tap an empty tile to choose a player for it. See Add and manage players.
4. Optional: swipe to Serving to choose who serves first, and to Match to choose the format.
5. Tap the check. The match opens on the score.

Start a singles match

1. On Home, tap Match.
2. On the Players tab, use the arrows until it reads 2 Players.
3. Tap the white tile and choose your opponent.
4. Tap the check.

Note: Singles is part of Pro. In the free version you play doubles, with the players named P2, P3 and P4.

Move or swap players in the line-up

1. Touch and hold a player's tile until the watch taps and the title changes to Move to....
2. Tap another tile. The two players swap places, even into an empty tile.
3. To put a player back without moving, tap the lifted tile again or tap the back button.

Once the first point of a match is played, the line-up is fixed. You can still swap a player for another one from the match settings.

If the check stays dimmed

• A tile is still empty: fill it on the Players tab.
• The same person is on both teams: the screen says who. Move one of them.
• In the free version with 2 or 3 players chosen: those need Pro. Go back to 4 Players.
