TierBreak builds your junior tennis player's year in one place: matches point by point, training, the mental work, tournaments, and what the coach sees. START WITH THE SCORE Enter a finished match in about twenty seconds, or track it live, point by point. Paste a USTA results page or photograph a draw sheet, and check each match before it is added. TRACK IT THE WAY IT IS PLAYED Eight scoring presets, from USTA Junior no-ad to an 8-game pro set. Singles and doubles, the serve rotation handled for you. Two taps a point gives you the analytics; add detail as you like. Undo, correct the score or fix the format mid-match. Works with no signal. SEE WHAT DECIDED IT Break points, first serve in play, the return matrix, a momentum chart that marks aces and double faults, and serve placement, rally length, spin and winners against errors when you track them. You choose what to track, for you and your coach. TRAIN THE MENTAL GAME LIKE A SKILL A self-assessment places your athlete in one of five phases of a 28-step pathway: pre-match routine, between-point routine, changeover reset, cue words. Focus games, scored against your own best and never another child's. The Proof shows how pressure points went before the pathway and since. FOR THE ATHLETE ON MATCH DAY A heads-up the evening before. Guided audio for the night before, the car ride, pre-match calm or activation, and between matches, saved to play with no signal. Match Day prep: three things to keep in mind, from their own notes, the coach and a parent; the pre-match routine they built; their match plan, go-to patterns and cue words; and opponent scouting with Advanced. WIN THE DAY Log a training session in seconds. One real thing done turns the day green, the week counts toward your days-a-week goal, and a planned rest day never breaks the streak. PLAN THE SEASON Add each tournament to your calendar: its name, first and last day, location, age group and level. Paste its USTA page for links to the tournament, its entry list and its draws. Camps, training blocks, rest days and practice matches share the calendar, free. TierBreak proposes rest after a long camp and, with Advanced, between close tournaments. FOR THE PARENT AT THE FENCE What your athlete is working on, a brief for the drive home, and your own read of the match that never overwrites theirs. WORK WITH A COACH, ON YOUR TERMS A coach you accept reads the week, logs the lesson and you get the note, sets homework your athlete ticks off, and writes the plan and a parent brief. You see everything they write. Seven switches per child set what they see. PRIVACY IS THE PRODUCT A player under 13 is set up by their guardian; AI stays off unless the guardian turns it on, and the journal stays readable by the guardian. A player of 13 or over gets a private journal. No advertising. AI YOU SWITCH ON Off until a parent turns it on: the match story, car-ride brief, journal patterns, college brief, scouting and prep chat, with Advanced. FREE AND ADVANCED Free: every capture field, the analytics, the focus games, six audio tracks, six months of history, one athlete, the coach connection, your own calendar with your tournaments, and CSV export. Advanced adds phases 2 to 5 of the pathway, fourteen more audio tracks, the AI briefs, opponent scouting and the prep chat, rest proposals around your tournaments, your record against each opponent, a second athlete and every season. Advanced has a 14-day free trial; the price is under In-App Purchases and in the app before you subscribe.

Stop copying names from a USTA roster into UTR search. MainDraw reads the Players list you have open, looks up National Combined, National Seeding, and UTR for those players, and shows the results in sortable columns—so you can check a tournament draw faster. • Read USTA tournament rosters (singles and doubles) • Look up National Combined, National Seeding, and UTR with your own UTR sign-in • 30-day free Look Up trial for new installs • After trial: $0.99/month or $9.99/year for Look Up Tap a UTR number on a roster or a draw to open that player's profile. In a doubles row, each number opens that player. Tap a National Combined number to see the singles and doubles that count: up to six singles and six doubles, with the lowest counting score marked. Tap a level name to open that tournament. If the USTA access token is expired or about to expire, MainDraw refreshes it in memory so the list can still open. The refreshed token stays in memory. Look Up also shows World Tennis Number beside National Combined. After a lookup, a draw can show Singles UTR or Doubles UTR next to a player you saved. Bookmark a USTA page. The bookmark name starts from the tournament title and the dates on the page. Accounts switches a family player and opens that player's upcoming and completed schedule. Tournament search can save a Sort & Filter setup and open it again. Add a tournament to a personal calendar. Home shows whether UTR and USTA are signed in. Try Demo opens a sample roster with rankings already filled in. No login. The top bar fits narrower and larger iPhones. Switch and Read stay on one line. The small MainDraw title on Home and the UTR Session title are not shown. When a lookup has no UTR session, that notice stays for about 10 seconds and then hides. The UTR Login button is not shown next to it. MainDraw is unofficial and not affiliated with USTA or Universal Tennis.
