This week I had the pleasure of hosting my client at Wimbledon. This annual tennis tournament, held at the beautiful All England Lawn Tennis Club is always a special time of year for us IBM'ers as it gives us the opportunity to showcase to the world IBM's technology in real time. This year IBM launched a new feature for the Wimbledon digital experience that leverages match data with generative AI from IBM's AI and data platform, watsonx, to keep fans updated on the world's leading players as they advance through The Championships. The new 'Catch Me Up' feature displays pre and post-match player cards with AI-generated player stories and analysis via wimbledon.com and the Wimbledon 2024 App. Player cards are personalised based on user preferences and data such as location and myWimbledon profile, starting with your favourite players. Pre-match content includes analysis of recent performance and likelihood to win predictions, and post-match it includes key statistics and highlights. The feature also creates longer-form daily summaries of play. 'Catch Me Up' was built using IBM's Granite large language model (LLM) to provide AI-generated text using the capabilities of the watsonx platform. The model has been trained on the Wimbledon editorial style and is monitored by the All England Club. The new feature is designed to help Wimbledon scale its content to both new and existing tennis fans globally, as well as provide fans access to timelier, curated coverage across ladies' and gentlemen's singles matches - which are often happening simultaneously. Enhancements have also been made to IBM SlamTracker, including expanded pre and post-match insights that now include wheelchair singles. So whilst AI is front and centre in terms of providing an enhanced user experience for tennis fans, sadly we are still working on how AI can guarantee sunshine at SW19 - lets put this down on the 'work in progress' list for next year!

For 35 years, IBM and #Wimbledon have been driving innovation to deliver a world-class fan experience for tennis enthusiasts. This year, we’re introducing 'Catch Me Up', our new feature that taps into match #data and #genAI to provide fans updates on their favorite players as they advance through The Championships.

Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova for clinching the Wimbledon 2024 singles titles! 🏆🎾 Incidentally IBM’s analytics had Alcaraz as a 61-39% favourite against Djokovic in the final. IBM has been an integral part of The Championships for 35 years now, underlining a trend of tech giants making massive investments in sports sponsorships since it enables them to become more experiential. 👍 In the early years, IBM's role primarily focused on providing basic IT support for Wimbledon as a tech partner. In 2000, they launched Wimbledon’s official website, offering fans real-time scores, player statistics, and match schedules. As the decade progressed, the focus shifted towards enhancing the digital experience for fans. In 2012, IBM introduced Slamtracker, revolutionizing tennis with real-time match statistics and predictive analysis. They have developed dedicated software applications designed for 100% accuracy, capturing 2.7 million data points every year. (Fun fact: One of those who interned inputting such real time data from courtside into IBM computers - Henry Patten - won the men’s doubles title this year with Will Jennings!) 🙌🏽✨ In recent years, the partnership has emphasized sustainability. IBM has helped Wimbledon in its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint by optimizing energy usage and streamlining operations using AI. This year, IBM introduced the "Catch Me Up" feature, enabling users to personalize it by adding their favorite players. This feature includes an analysis of recent performance and likelihood-to-win predictions, extending coverage to lesser-known players, especially those in junior or wheelchair events. All of this makes the brand, which is no longer into the consumer tech space, and operates only B2B, a great platform to both showcase what its tech can do, and become part of one of the biggest talking points of the sporting calendar. 🎾 #Wimbledon #IBM #TechnologyandSports #AI #SportsSponsorships
