Robot Tennis Pros

When will we see robot tennis pros teaching at clubs.

I just came across an article on Lowe's putting customer assistance robots into use in the aisles.

I often wondered when this might happen where teaching pros get replaced by robots.  Can teaching be programmed into a machine?

We're part of the way there with ball machines and they've been around for a long time.  Add in an intelligent analyst of the game and technique and you might have something.  Still, for now I'm not worried.  It just seems that it will be a while before the smiling face on the other side of the net can be replaced with some blinking lights.

I hope I'm right on this.
