Infosys, a global powerhouse in next-generation digital services and consulting, proudly announced the extension of its innovative partnership with the ATP Tour through to 2026. This continuation builds on a solid foundation laid since 2015, utilizing Infosys‘ expertise in cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Analytics, and Cloud Computing. The primary aim of this collaboration is to further enrich the experiences of fans and enhance player performance in the realm of professional tennis.

Since the beginning of their partnership, Infosys and ATP have introduced numerous digital advancements that have significantly impacted the tennis world. Innovations include the transformation of the ATP PlayerZone portal, the debut of the ATP Tour fan application, and the integration of AI-first features through Infosys Topaz within the Infosys ATP Stats Center. These enhancements have not only improved the engagement and analysis during live matches but have also resulted in a 50% increase in yearly traffic to the stats section of the ATP website. The platforms boast over 5.7 million digital engagements globally, offering fans in-depth content such as rally analyses, 3D visualizations, and comprehensive point-by-point insights.

Looking ahead, Infosys and ATP are committed to developing new AI and data-driven innovations aimed at personalizing the tennis experience for both players and fans alike.

A noteworthy aspect of the Infosys-ATP partnership is the focus on sustainability through initiatives like the ATP Carbon Tracker. This innovative platform has engaged over 200 ATP players in 2023 alone, tracking 6.55 million kilometers of travel to monitor and offset carbon emissions. This aligns with ATP’s ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, showcasing the role of digital innovation in promoting environmental sustainability within sports.
