Why a Tennis Scores Terminal App?

Sometimes when I'm working in my terminal (or in Emacs, really), I want a quick way to check on ATP and WTA scores, but I don't want to switch to my browser to do it. So why not have a way to check the scores in my terminal?

Features

• Real-time ATP & WTA match & score tracking
• Responsive grid layout that adapts to terminal resizing
• JSON schema validation via Pydantic
• Adjustable API polling interval

Limitations

Currently the app only tracks ATP and WTA singles events.

Additionally, the tennis score tracking data provided by ESPN's unofficial API is structurally limited.

• Score Resolution: Point-by-point tracking (e.g., 15-0, 30-40, Ad-In) is not supported. The data feed exclusively provides aggregated game and set scores.
• Tournament Availability: The API solely tracks tournaments that are currently in progress. It does not provide historical data for past tournaments or schedules for inactive, future events.

Installation and Uninstallation

To install:

# Install via pipx (recommended)
pipx install get-tennis-scores

# Install with standard pip
# Recommend using a virtual environment
pip install get-tennis-scores

To uninstall:

# If you installed using pipx
pipx uninstall get-tennis-scores

# If you installed using pip
pip uninstall get-tennis-scores

Usage

Launch the app in the terminal:

get-tennis-scores

Configuration

The live score tracking refresh interval is adjustable at the top of the UI. The default is set to 30 seconds. A 10 second minimum is enforced to reduce the risk of API rate limiting.

There is little reason to having a low refresh interval anyway since the score tracks only games and sets, not points.

To-do

• Incorporate doubles events
• Add a player search feature
• Add an indicator that a match is live
• Add estimated time and dates for scheduled matches
