This year's Wimbledon tennis tournament will use AI-powered commentary and player analysis in an effort to encourage fans to engage with the championship on a "deeper level." According to an <a href="https://newsroom.ibm.com/2023-06-21-IBM-Brings-Generative-AI-Commentary-and-AI-Draw-Analysis-to-the-Wimbledon-Digital-Experience" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announcement</a> made by the tournament's organizers, The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELT), and technology giant IBM, the tournament, which is the oldest tennis competition in the world, will make use of the new technology across all of its online platforms.
<h2>Wimbledon to feature AI commentary for highlights videos at the upcoming Wimbledon</h2>
Match highlights videos will have captions and audio generated by a new AI commentary feature that will provide insight into crucial occurrences. The feature, which makes use of IBM's WatsonX technology, was developed with the AELT to ensure that it uses language that is specific to tennis. According to Usama Al-Qassab, the marketing and commercial director at the AELT.

On Wimbledon's so-called "show courts," where the major showdowns take place, human commentary is already available. However, senior, junior, and wheelchair matches lack their own expert narration at this time. A player "Power Index," match insights, and personalized highlights reels are among the AI-powered analysis tools <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/ibm-and-maersk-to-shut-down-tradelens-logistics-blockchain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IBM</a> provides for the competition, which has been an official partner of the championships since 1990. This year, a new statistic will be added to its draw analysis feature to show how likely each singles draw player is to reach the final.
<h2>IBM Mentor to augment Wimbledon highlights with AI-generated commentary</h2>
According to IBM's senior vice president of marketing and communications, Jonathan Adashek, AI technologies "have the power to help major sporting events like Wimbledon to grow their audiences through outstanding digital experiences."

IBM researchers were developing AI software that could provide play-by-play commentary during sporting events. The company recently enhanced clips of the April Masters Tournament golf championship with AI-generated commentary.
