When does a sports dashboard need the court to be more than a background?
In this case, we were designing Deuce a tennis analytics platform that needed to make complex match data feel immediate and spatial, not just numerical.
The brief was clear: analysts and coaches don't just want stats. They want to feel like they're watching the match while reading the data.
So we made the Wimbledon court the literal center of the interface. Every panel orbits it match overview and surface performance on the left, live scoreboard and tournament state on the right, performance trend running the full width below. The court isn't decoration. It's the anchor that makes every number feel like it belongs to a real moment on a real surface.
72.34% win rate. 48 aces. 210 km/h best serve. Djokovic leading Alcaraz 6-4 on Center Court. Alcaraz vs Sinner tonight at 11 PM. Tactic heatmaps showing where points are won and lost.
What we noticed was that spatial context changed how the data felt. The same numbers in a standard table read as analysis. Wrapped around a court, they read as intelligence.
Do you think sports UI design is still underestimating how much context and spatial layout affect how data is understood?

Simply incredible
Nice aesthetics, but composition feels bottom-heavy.

PlanetF1 Rebrand 🏁
PlanetF1 is one of the world’s leading independent Formula One media platforms, established in 1999 and part of the Planet Sport Group. Known for its global audience and trusted race coverage, it delivers breaking news, analysis and live weekend reporting to millions of F1 fans worldwide.
I led the rebrand and wider visual overhaul of the platform. Working closely with key stakeholders, I drove the research and discovery phase before designing and presenting a refreshed identity system built to position PlanetF1 as a modern, digital-first brand for Formula One audiences.
The identity needed to feel fast, precise and unmistakably connected to the sport, while elevating the platform’s presence within an increasingly competitive sports media landscape. It also needed to support high-frequency publishing across news, live coverage and social content.
The final identity introduces a new icon inspired by the Formula One “mini-map”, acting as a directional system to reflect speed, positioning and race tracking. Supported by updated brand guidelines and enhanced motion capabilities, the system creates a more dynamic and consistent visual language across digital and social platforms, strengthening PlanetF1’s presence as the sport moves “On the Grid”.
