BENGALURU, India and MALLORCA,
Spain, Aug.
24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Infosys (NSE: INFY) (BSE:
INFY) (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital
services and consulting, today announced a three-year partnership
with global tennis star Rafael
Nadal. Globally acknowledged as one of the legends in
sports, he also has had the ability to change with the changing
rigors of tennis over the years. Nadal is a perfect embodiment of
what it takes individuals or business leaders to evolve and
continually navigate their next.
As the digital innovation partner for the ATP Tour,
Roland-Garros, Australian Open, and The International Tennis Hall
of Fame, brand Infosys has helped reimagine the tennis ecosystem
for a billion fans globally leveraging AI, cloud, data analytics
and digital experiences. Infosys has pioneered video and stats
analysis platforms for players and coaches to revolutionize
training, bolstered match analysis with AI-assisted journalism
platforms for broadcasters to post engaging content and introduced
new ways for fans to engage with the game. Other innovations, from
Infosys, for the tennis ecosystem include explorations in the
digital universe including mixed reality, social VR and 3D art
museums to expand the history, and heritage of tennis to fans
globally. Most recently, Infosys launched the Carbon Tracker,
allowing ATP players to track and offset emissions from their
travel on tour. It is a first of its kind sustainable tech in any
sport.
In addition, Infosys' partnerships with tennis have also
extended to serve communities around the world, a good example
being STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)
education, made engaging through the lens of tennis, to enable
young children to develop a deeper appreciation for STEM studies
together with Tennis Australia.
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. Also, the impact that Infosys is making beyond
the court – creating the next opportunity for people, businesses,
and communities – deeply inspires me. I believe it's our shared
aspiration to create societal good that makes our handshake truly
meaningful."
Tune in to Infosys brand ambassador Rafael Nadal talk about how Infosys has
helped transform tennis.
To mark this - Nadal's first-ever collaboration with a digital
services company - Infosys and Nadal's coaching team are developing
an AI-powered match analysis tool. This personalized tool 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.
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. We are inspired by his approach, and
it reflects our own aspirations to continuously evolve and always
remain relevant for our clients."
