Automated Live Commentary:

The Infosys Tennis Platform will bring to fans automated text-based live commentary from each of the matches further adding a rich dimension to follow the action.

3.

Stats, live results, and scores

: The tournament website has also been updated with a new live score and results section which has been automated. Each match will also feature a unique Stats feature that will not only provide match stats but based on AI logic, sort them by significance, and tell a deeper story of the match.

b.

Immersive ITHF Metaverse Museum:

Infosys and ITHF have also embarked on a journey to preserve the heritage of the sport and celebrate its champions and rich history by developing an immersive virtual metaverse museum that will be accessible for fans around the world.

This year select guests at the ITHF will get a chance to see a sneak peek of the experience on Oculus VR headsets.

The complete project is due to be launched in 2023 with a web and VR version that fans will be able to experience.
