Tennis Australia, through its now seven-year-old partnership with Infosys, unveiled new artificial intelligence features to be deployed throughout the 2025 Australian Open:
New this year, Infosys’ suite of AI tools, branded “ Infosys Topaz,” is powering:
- Beyond Tennis: A year-round digital game that Tennis Australia terms a “generative AI-powered tennis league.” In it, users coach AI-generated virtual players through the 2025 tennis season.
- AI commentary: Combining Infosys’ AI with an AWS Bedrock large-language model and Bolt6 data, the Australian Open’s app will deliver automated play-by-play commentary for singles matches.
- Fan Zone: The Infosys-sponsored Fan Zone on site at Melbourne Park will, among other activations, have a space where fans can play tennis in virtual reality and create court designs to play on using a speech-to-image generative AI tool.
- Video content: Infosys’ AI is also supporting automated video clipping for players and coaches to use in pre- and post-match reviews, as well as pulling out daily “AI Shot(s) of the Day,” to be used by the tournament’s media team.
