Direct peers

• 好动网球 (Haodong Tennis): Chinese tennis platform combining court booking, community, and training content. Comparable because it pursues the same Chinese tennis consumer with a digital-plus-services model that overlaps XTennis' player-facing offering.
• 全网球 (Quanwangqiu): Established Chinese tennis booking, league, and tournament organizer. Comparable as a direct competitor for Chinese tennis players' time, court access, and event participation — overlapping with XTennis' court usage and event revenue streams.
• 弘金地体育 (Hongkindi / World Tennis): Chinese tennis facility operator with academy, club, and event operations. Comparable as a direct peer operating tennis venues, training, and events in China — competing for the same active-player and event-sponsorship budgets.

Broad incumbents

• 动因体育 (Dongyin Sports): Multi-sport training and venue operator in China. Comparable because it runs franchise-style sports venues (notably badminton) with a similar turnkey venue-plus-coaching model, representing a likely adjacent competitor and a possible roll-up acquirer of XTennis.
• Topgolf: Global franchise-style sports-venue operator combining entertainment, technology, and F&B. Comparable as a category analog for a technology-enabled, franchise-distributed sports venue business — useful for understanding unit economics and brand scaling.
• 万国体育 (Wanguo Sports): Listed Chinese multi-sport facility operator offering franchise-style venues. Comparable as a broader incumbent with similar venue-plus-training economics across racquet sports, useful as both a competitor and a comparable public-market benchmark.

Emerging players

• Rafa Nadal Academy: Premium tennis training operator with venue-plus-coaching model. Comparable as an emerging premium tennis training brand expanding internationally, a potential strategic partner or aspirational benchmark for XTennis' coaching business.

Others

• 悦跑圈 / tennis-themed community platforms (e.g., 氧仕多): Adjacent Chinese sports community platforms monetizing user engagement in sports verticals. Comparable as ecosystem peers that may compete for tennis consumer attention or partner for digital distribution of XTennis' training content.
