Building a tennis live score tracker sounded simple at first: fetch matches, show scores, done. But as soon as I looked at the shape of real sports data, the problem became more interesting. Live feeds are often incomplete, statuses change constantly, and tournament context matters just as much as the scoreline. I wanted a small app that could surface live, upcoming, and completed tennis matches without turning into a giant data-mapping exercise.
That is what led me to this project: a compact Next.js app that uses Sportmicro as the tennis data source and keeps the interface readable even when the API returns partial records. The result is a good example of how to build a practical dashboard around a [Tennis Live Score API] without overengineering the first version.

What I set out to build
The goal was not to create a complete tennis platform. I wanted a focused tracker that demonstrates a clean integration with Sportmicro and shows how to present tennis data in a modern UI.
