ACEMATE Launches the Next-Gen S10 Pro AI Tennis Robot at IFA 2026 for Serious Sports Enthusiasts

ACEMATE Introduces the S10 Pro AI Tennis Robot

At IFA 2026, ACEMATE has made waves in the sports technology arena by unveiling their latest innovation, the S10 Pro AI tennis robot. This high-performance machine builds upon the capabilities of its predecessor, the S10, emphasizing structured and intensive training for tennis players of all levels.

Enhanced Training Experience

The S10 Pro features five core training modes that are flexible and designed to progress from warm-up routines to match simulations. The robot leverages dual 4K HDR binocular vision and omni-directional mobility, allowing it to track the ball and move across the court seamlessly. In Rally Mode, it collects in-bound shots and returns the ball effectively, which is ideal for players to establish a natural hitting rhythm during warm-ups.

Three specialized modes further cater to specific training goals. Drill Mode combines targeted areas with a scoring system to enhance placement skills. Serve Mode focuses on serving techniques and tracks parameters such as serve speed and spin while preparing to simulate a return shot for practice. Lastly, Ball Machine Mode ensures a stable feeding system with adjustable shot parameters, providing players with consistent practice opportunities.

An exciting feature is Battle Mode, where the S10 Pro simulates a live opponent, reacting to incoming shots based on real player behavior. This mode includes four preset styles—Defense, Attack, Topspin, and Variety—creating varied match scenarios while allowing players to assess their performance through score tracking and point-by-point results.

Innovative ACE+ SHOT™ Tech

At the heart of the S10 Pro is the groundbreaking ACE+ SHOT™ Tech, an omni-directional launch system designed to enhance ball speed and shot accuracy. This system uniquely changes the horizontal direction of shots without requiring the entire robot to rotate, facilitating rapid shot placements. Players can tailor the ball speeds to reach up to 75 mph (120 km/h) and adjust shot angles from 7 to 40 degrees. The ability to select from a variety of spins—flat, topspin, and backspin—further empowers players to refine their techniques.

With a holding capacity of 100 balls, this robot ensures more extended training sessions, powered by a high-capacity battery that lasts up to five hours. It is versatile enough to operate on hard, clay, and grass court surfaces—making it a standout training partner regardless of location.

A Comprehensive AI Training Loop

The S10 Pro introduces a complete AI training loop that expands upon traditional practice methods. This five-stage process—Train, Track, Analyze, Review, and Improve—ensures each session is productive and measurable. Before starting, players can choose from over 100 built-in training plans via the ACEMATE app, tailoring their practice session to their precise needs. During the training, performance metrics are captured, leading to data-driven reviews and actionable feedback after each session.

Availability and Pricing

The S10 Pro is priced competitively with regional MSRPs standing at $2,999 in the USA, making it an accessible tool for serious players eager to enhance their game. Pre-orders are now open through the official ACEMATE website, with a showcase of the robot’s various features available to audiences at IFA 2026 from September 4 to 8, in Hall 1.2, Booth 146.
