Infosys Onboards Rafael Nadal as Brand Ambassador
Infosys has signed a three-year agreement with Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal to jointly develop an artificial intelligence (AI) tool.
An AI-powered match analysis tool is being developed by India's second largest IT company and Nadal's coaching team. According to a press release, this personalised tool will be available in real time to Nadal's coaching team to track insights from his live matches, as well as historical data from his previous matches, when he returns to tour.
The Bengaluru-based firm has served as the ATP Tour's digital innovation partner, as well as Roland-Garros, the Australian Open, and the International Tennis Hall of Fame. "Brand Infosys has helped reimagine the tennis ecosystem for a billion fans globally by leveraging AI, cloud, data analytics, and digital experiences," according to the press release.
Infosys has launched over 30 innovations for the tennis ecosystem that combine the power of AI, cloud, metaverse, mixed reality, and other cutting-edge technology. Other Infosys innovations for the tennis ecosystem include digital universe explorations such as mixed reality, social VR (virtual reality), and 3D art museums to bring the history and heritage of tennis to fans worldwide.
Infosys recently launched the Carbon Tracker, which allows ATP players to track and offset their emissions while on tour. It is the first time a sport has used a sustainable technology.
