India's tech giant Infosys today announced it signed a three-year partnership with the Tennis icon Rafael Nadal, onboarding as an ambassador for the company and Infosys' Digital Innovation.
Infosys said it has helped reimagine the tennis ecosystem for fans globally using AI, cloud, data analytics and digital experiences and has developed video/stats analysis platforms for players/coaches to transform training.
As part of the partnership, Infosys and Nadal’s coaching team will develop an AI-powered match analysis tool, which will be available in real-time to Nadal’s coaching team to simultaneously track insights from his live matches when he is back on tour, along with historical data from his earlier matches.
Infosys has been associated with the game of tennis as the digital innovation partner for the ATP Tour, Roland-Garros, Australian Open, and The International Tennis Hall of Fame.
Rafael Nadal said, “I’m very happy to work closely with Infosys, as they work to not only evolve the experience of tennis to the times, but also empower people in our communities to be part of a brighter future. I love the way Infosys has brought its digital expertise across industries to the global tennis ecosystem. It has transformed the tennis experience for a billion global fans and truly empowered all players on the tour with analytics that they could have only dreamt of a few years ago."
Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, Infosys, said, “It is an honor to welcome Rafa – one of the world’s most respected champion athletes and humanitarians – as an ambassador for Infosys. He is someone who personifies the spirit of always evolving, never giving up, utmost dedication and determination to give the very best in every situation.
