[0002] A tennis server is a machine that can automatically serve a ball when playing tennis. Its operating principle mainly relies on the relative rotation of two wheels driven by a motor, which shoots the tennis ball by quickly squeezing it. This server can not only adjust the speed of the serve, but also generate adjustable topspin or backspin by controlling the different rotation speeds of the upper and lower wheels, thereby simulating a variety of serve types, such as side spin, straight ball, high lob, etc. There are many types of tennis servers, such as double-wheeled servers, portable tennis servers, pneumatic servers, and catapult servers. Each type has its own unique working principle and characteristics. When using a tennis server, it is recommended to use a training ball, because the ball tire of this ball is thicker, not easy to leak, and more durable. In addition, tennis servers are often equipped with computer remote control and remote sensing devices for speed measurement, which makes the operation of the server more accurate and convenient.
