About the program
The Wake Forest’s men’s tennis program is one of the most consistent contenders in college tennis, with a long history of NCAA Tournament appearances and a roster built on elite talent. Heading into the 2025 season, it had depth, experienced coaching, and one of the toughest schedules in the ACC. What it needed was a faster way to turn match and practice data into decisions the team could use from one practice to the next.
The Challenge
Elite college programs have no shortage of information. The challenge is knowing what matters and how to use it. Heading into 2025, SpinInsight worked with Wake Forest to turn detailed tennis analysis into practical insights for coaches and players.
The focus was on making the right information available at the right time, helping the team prepare, adjust, and make better decisions throughout the season.
The Solution
Working with SpinInsight throughout the 2025 season, the program built its preparation around three key pieces.
Video tied to metrics
Film sessions became more than watching and discussing matches. A rally could be viewed alongside the numbers behind it, making patterns easy to spot at a glance.
Reports built for practice, not archives
Instead of sorting through a full data dump after every match, the team worked from concise reports focused on the handful of insights that actually shaped the next week of training.
Dashboards built for speed
None of this replaced the work Wake Forest’s coaches and players were already putting in. It removed friction from the process, so preparation for every opponent started with a clear picture instead of a PDF report.
The Results
- 40–1 overall record - a program and ACC single-season win record.
- ITA National Indoor Championship (February 2025), defeating then-No. 1 TCU.
- 2025 NCAA Division I title - a 4–2 win over TCU in the final, the program's second national championship.
- 25 ranked wins across the season, including 11 victories over top-10 opponents.
Championships are won by players who compete, adapt, and execute under pressure.
For SpinInsight, the season was a real-world test of whether fast, simplified analytics could support better preparation and decision-making at the highest level of college tennis.
