SAN FRANCISCO — Tennis great Rafael
Nadal is ready for his comeback.
Since a knee injury sidelined him after
this year's Wimbledon, he's been out of
action. But he'll be back at the Australian
Open next month, and with a new
iPhone app.
The new Rafael Nadal Tennis Academy
App, developed with video-analysis firm
Vstrator, will be available within the next
few days on iTunes. It offers in-depth
tennis tutorials of Nadal's strokes, along
with Vstrator's easy-to-use video
coaching tools.
"This helps you visualize how to become
a better player," Nadal, the world's No.
4-ranked player, told USA TODAY in a
phone interview.
The app ( www.vstrator.com/rafanadal )
lets consumers capture and analyze video
of athletic motions such as ground
strokes and serves. Video can be
recorded or imported from a smartphone
camera into the app. So-called "Vstrate"
technology lets users highlight video to
zero in on any part of their game.
Users of the app can frame video forward
and back to compare their technique
with Nadal and other players. Vstrator
video can be shared via Facebook,
Twitter, e-mail or text message.
