About
Tennis without borders. For every player.
CourtNomad gives amateur tennis players what the pros have always had — an accurate rating, a fair opponent at their level, and a court ready to go. No connections needed, no WhatsApp groups, no luck.
The problem we're solving
Who's at my level?
Organizing amateur tennis means contacting the same small circle of acquaintances. Nobody really knows their actual level — not you, not your potential opponent.
Coordination chaos
WhatsApp groups, Google Sheets, SMS messages — just to agree on where and when to play. Then no record that the match even happened.
Stranger in a new city
You're at a conference, on holiday, or traveling for work. You have an hour free and want to play tennis — but who and where? In a foreign city, you're nobody on the court.
How CourtNomad solves this
One global rating
We use Glicko-2 — the same algorithm used in chess and esports. After every match, your rating updates precisely based on opponent strength and margin of victory. The rating follows you, not the city you live in.
Smart matchmaking
The algorithm finds players within your rating range, in your preferred format (singles, doubles, women's), on your preferred surface, within the radius that suits you. No more guessing — you see how strong the opponent is before sending a challenge.
Court integration
Partner clubs publish available slots directly on the platform. From 'I want to play' to 'court is booked' in a few minutes — no phone calls, no waiting for email replies.
A community that travels with you
Travel mode lets you find a match in every city where CourtNomad operates. Your rating, your history, your opponents — always accessible. Local players can see you on the map and invite you to a match.

Mission & values
We believe every player deserves a match that moves them forward — regardless of city, level, or access to a local tennis scene.
The tennis community is global, but the infrastructure is local and fragmented. CourtNomad builds the bridge between those two realities: one rating, one platform, unlimited courts.
Fair play
Every result is verified by both players. Every rating is based on real matches. No self-reporting, no manipulation.
Location privacy
Your exact location never leaves the server. The map shows an approximate position — enough to be found, not enough to be tracked.
Accessibility
Core functionality is free. No payment for a simple match — we charge where we add real value.
Rating transparency
The Glicko-2 formula is public. You can calculate how your rating would change before accepting a match. No black boxes.
Where we are now
CourtNomad is currently in open beta. The platform is live and functional — players are signing up, matches are being played, ratings are updating. We're actively expanding the network of courts and cities.
