- Apple also adds more adjustment and granularity
Apple Just hit a about-handed person and add tennis to his iPhone-Allene-Sport app just in time for the biggest competition of the sport: Wimbledon.
After the launch in 2024 with the NBA, NHL, MLS, NCAA Basketball and NCAA -football, Apple Sports quickly added the MLB and has since been expanded with the NFL, Racing and other competitions. However, tennis was a remarkable gap.
The sport arrives today and is now part of the free app, which is available in the US, the UK and Canada. Just like with other sports, game coverage includes live point-by-point coverage, but no play-by-play. So do not expect line calls in coverage.
One of the reasons why people like me are as Apple Sports is that it realizes his real -time promise, for example in baseball, for example, almost immediate updates about runners and the score. Tennis is perhaps an even faster moving game.
In a release about the update, Apple promises: “Live scores supplied incredibly fast.” We will see.
However, Apple Sports will have fans follow all competitions that take place after the qualifications. So it’s not just the top match at a certain moment, Apple Sports will treat all Wimbledon matches. The tennis reporting offers adapted sports card backgrounds for every competition, with the grass or clay used in the courts of each tournament (Wimbledon uses grass).
Tennis will also benefit from a few other app-wide updates, including a refined home screen with which you can now adjust the organization per competition.
That comes in handy, even if you are not a tennis fan. Speaking of this, I am particularly enthusiastic about the small update that comes to MLB coverage in live activities, which will now display the active pitcher and fittings data under the score.
This has been a remarkable gap in the baseball reporting of Sport. It is one of the main reasons that while I like SportLive activitiesWhich can even appear on your lock screen, I often had to switch to the MLB.com page for more information about who at Bat is.

With two weeks (June 30 to July 13) and dozens of competitions, Wimbledon will offer a rich test for the sports platform. You cannot follow individual players, so that the entire affair can feel a bit chaotic. Hopefully you will do that do that eventually, so that you can quickly switch to a match for your “favorite” player.
Sport still keeps the focus tight on the actual sporting events and does not yet cover things such as the upcoming MLB All-Star Game (July 15) or the NBA concept (25 June). In a sense, this helps to keep the app clean and efficient, but it also means that sports in every Sports League experience fail.
In addition, while Apple Sports is available on the iPhone and is visible as live activities on Apple WatchThere is no word about plans to bring it to the iPad … still.
