About Matchpoint Daily

What Matchpoint Daily Covers

Matchpoint Daily is an independent website about three fast, net-and-table sports: volleyball (indoor and beach), badminton and table tennis. We publish evergreen explainers that help fans and recreational players understand these games better: how the rules work, what good technique looks like, how the major tours and championships are organised, and the history of the teams, players and moments that shaped each sport.

We are not a breaking-news site. You will not find live scores, daily results or rumours here. Instead, we aim to write articles that stay useful long after they are published, whether you have just picked up a paddle or have followed the Volleyball Nations League, the BWF World Tour or the WTT circuit for years.

Our Categories

• Rules Explained – scoring, rotations, service laws, faults and officiating in all three sports.
• Technique & Tactics – strokes, serves, footwork, positions, systems and the ideas behind them.
• Competitions – how the Olympics, world championships, pro tours, team cups and leagues work.
• History – the origins of each sport, great teams and rivalries, and the rule changes that shaped them.
• Gear & Guides – practical help with rackets, paddles, rubbers, shuttlecocks, balls and shoes, plus glossaries and beginner guides.

Who Writes Here

Articles on Matchpoint Daily are published under the name Claire Holloway. This is a pen name used by a small independent editorial team, and we say so openly. We do not claim coaching certifications, refereeing qualifications or professional playing careers. What we do commit to is careful research, clear writing and linking to the sources we rely on, so you can check our work yourself.

How We Work

Every article is researched against official sources such as the FIVB rulebooks, the BWF Laws of Badminton, the ITTF Laws of Table Tennis, tour and championship websites and reputable reference material. AI tools help with drafting, and every piece is fact-checked and edited by a person before it is published. You can read more about this in our editorial policy.

Independence

Matchpoint Daily is not affiliated with any federation, tour, club, team, equipment maker or broadcaster. We do not publish betting or gambling content. If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be clearly labelled as “Sponsored”.
