Find a tennis partner: players near you, at your level

Tennis is played by two or four people, and a good match needs three things to line up at once: level, time and place. Play someone much stronger and the ball never stays in play; play someone much weaker and you are both bored. If you have just moved to a new city, are coming back after a long break or simply have no tennis players among your friends, group chats and club notice boards rarely solve it: messages scroll away and nobody's level is clear. Racket Crush was built to make those three conditions visible from the start.

When you sign up for Racket Crush you pick the sports you play and, through a short survey, a level for each: Beginner, Improving, Intermediate, Advanced or Expert. Your level shows on your profile and you can change it whenever you like; it does not move on its own with match results, so choosing honestly is the first step to a good match. On the Discover screen, players near you appear as cards with the sports they play. Swipe right to send a request; if the other player picks you too, you match and can start messaging inside the app.

If you want to play at a specific time you can publish a match. First you choose the sport and the level you are looking for, then the kind of session: a scored match, or a rally where you simply hit together without keeping score. Next you set the format, singles (1v1) or doubles (2v2), the court, the day and the time. Leave it open and nearby players apply, and you decide who joins; you can also send invitations straight to specific players. You book the court with the venue yourself.

Close to 2,500 tennis courts in Türkiye appear in the app on a map and in a list, and you pick your court from that list when you open a match. After the match one side enters the score and the other confirms it or rejects it with a reason, so your match history is made of results both players accepted. You can also keep tennis and padel scores from your wrist with the Racket Crush Apple Watch app.

The five levels in the app read roughly like this: Beginner, still learning to keep the ball in play; Improving, can rally briefly but the serve is not settled; Intermediate, rallies steadily at a medium pace; Advanced, has a reliable serve, net game and a tactical plan; Expert, has tournament experience. On the NTRP scale, 2.0–2.5 sits close to Improving, 3.0–3.5 to Intermediate and 4.0 and above to Advanced. If you are unsure, choosing one level lower tends to give more balanced first matches.
