Tennis is one of the most popular sports of all time. Be it England or South Africa, tennis fans could be found all over the world. The problem, however, is that you can’t play the sport anywhere you want to. Moreover, you can’t expect Wimbledon or any other major tennis event to be playing every time you turn on the TV. To remedy that, however, there are a nice set of apps on Android that can whet your tennis-fanboy/fangirl appetite. These apps range from tennis-based games to applications that help you keep track of the latest scores.
