leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, today
announced an extension of its digital innovation partnership with
the Australian Open (AO) until the end of 2026. The expanded

commitment builds on the last three years of high
impact between Infosys and the AO, and follows strong results
achieved in a pandemic-impacted 2021 event. The collaboration aims
to focus across 4 key areas:
- Enhanced broadcast statistics to increase fan
engagement: Beginning at AO22, Infosys is bringing all-new
stats for tennis fans globally, providing insights and perspectives
to analyse the game differently. These will consist of fascinating
data points such as pressure point metrics, how players
capitalize on early breaks in sets, and historical records broken
by a player through the course of the tournament.

media: Tennis Australia and
Infosys will build groundbreaking innovations and discover new
digital tools for AO stakeholders. Through the Infosys Tennis
Platform, match center features for the fans will make its way to
the mobile app, while seeing several new enhancements, helping them
take a virtual seat on the court and deep dive into data of their
favorite matches. Advanced coaching through AI videos will continue
to help players & coaches strategize their game better and
breathtaking moments from multiple matches will be published using
AI Shot of the Day.
- Driving the digital experience vision: Driving the 360
digital experience vision for the Australian Open in the next
decade begins with an end-to-end design assessment of a fan's
digital touchpoints with the AO. Areas for growth will be
identified and world class innovation will place the fan right in
the middle of the digital experience.
- Digital for inclusivity and greater access to the
underprivileged and grassroots community: Leveraging Infosys
Springboard, the teams will work together on various digital
skilling and inclusivity initiatives to help under-represented
communities while also positively impacting grassroots tennis in
the region.
