Apple Sports, the company’s sports app for iPhone, now shows scores for tennis matches. “Tennis fans can access live scores for Grand Slam and 1000-level tournaments, and can track every point across all men’s and women’s singles matches, beginning with Wimbledon,” Apple says in a press release.
The company is also adding a “brand-new home experience” to the app. “Events and matchups are now grouped by league, with intuitive controls for fans to set their preferred order, ensuring their top leagues appear first,” Apple says. Your favorite teams will “always appear at the top.”
Apple launched the Apple Sports app in February 2024. Since then, it’s introduced a number of updates to the app, including support for Live Activities, football-focused improvements, and the ability to see where games are being broadcast nationally in the US. The app is part of an increasing interest in sports from Apple, which also has a soccer streaming deal with the MLS.
