But if you’re a serious player, or you want some incentive to keep up with your new favourite hobby, here are some gadgets, apps, and accessories that we think are ace. (Sorry.)

I'm sure you would never, ever sweat, only glow. But if you do ever find yourself er, glowing more than you'd like while racing around the tennis court, a classic pair of sweatbands is an easy fix. These are official Wimbledon brand, so that every time you look at your wrist you can imagine you're Maria Sharapova. (Just hit the ball a little more quietly than she does, would you please?)
