Tennis glorified by IBM

The tennis season kickstarts in January with the first grand slam of the year, Australian Open. People from around the globe are quiet enthusiastic about this event. Stars like Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are all geared up for the open.

To add cherry to this event, IBM has introduced a smart and innovative way to watch and enjoy the game, SLAMTRACKER. IBM uses real-time analytics tools to give players and spectators added insight during grand slam tournaments. A point-by-point summary is indicated after the conclusion of each and every point. Live commentary, exclusive interviews of players, highlights of the match and exotic points-all is included in SLAMTRACKER.

The SLAMTRACKER works on the much talked CLOUD TECHNOLOGY. The data received through match umpire’s scorecard is directly shown on this SLAMTRACKER using the cloud sources provided by IBM.


Not only Australian Open, but other tennis grand slams have shown keen interest in this latest technology. Alan Flack, IBM's Wimbledon client and programme executive, says: "The predictive analytics technology and the exciting match information available online and on mobile achieves



the additional global penetration for Wimbledon that the organizers want and it gets more young people interested in the sport."

The same technology is being used to gain an advantage in the business world, too. The technology collects data about every point, game, set and match, and the same tools are being used by businesses to gain additional insight into their industry, as well as their customers' preferences and habits. It is helping them retain and gain a competitive advantage.


In all, IBM by introducing SLAMTRACKER have enhanced the sports enthusiasts’ experience and we, at team MINIITWOLD salute and respect IBM for such innovations and hope to see more every time.
