Challenge
Tennis players faced difficulty in finding opponents due to the absence of a convenient and easy-to-use platform. They had to propose various timeslots and locations and engage in lengthy email conversations to confirm the time and place for a match.
Wicked Tennis proposed a convenient solution that allowed players to quickly and effortlessly connect with each other, streamlining the scheduling process.
