Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, in partnership with the French Tennis Federation (FFT) today announced a powerful line-up of AI-first fan experiences for Roland-Garros
- Entering its seventh year as the official AI and Digital Innovation Partner, Infosys is leveraging
its AI-first suite of offerings, Infosys Topaz, to apply agentic AI and generative AI to deliver immersive
and interactive fan experiences that push the boundaries in sports technology.
The innovations for 2025 include:
AI Commentary: This feature allows fans to truly experience the various highs and lows of the
matches. By capturing every thrilling twist and turn, it delivers commentary that brings alive each
moment. With player-specific point-of-views, point-by-point or game-level highlights, AI
Commentary ensures a viewing experience that is both personal and engaging. The feature
leverages out-of-the-box large language models (LLMs) to combine real-time analytics with
agentic AI built on multi-agent orchestration.
AI Stadium: Using advanced text-to-image generation to expand on the virtual reality fan zone
concept, AI Stadium empowers fans to imagine their own 3D tennis arenas. With voice prompting,
fans can create a range of environments from futuristic to nature-inspired in seconds, enabling
rapid image generation optimised for VR spatial immersion. This gamified feature brings fans one
step closer to their personalized tennis universe, redefining how the sport is experienced.
Generative AI Poster Challenge: New for this year, video generation elevates an experience to
a new creative dimension. Using prompts like iconic French landmarks, art styles, and tennis
motifs, fans can now generate short, AI-created videos. At the Infosys Fanzone in RG this year,
fans can take it a step further by stepping into an immersive LED cube to experience their
personalised posters come to life. Developed with responsible AI principles, this feature ensures
safe, ethical exploration of generative AI possibilities and rewards winners with tickets and
vouchers for Roland-Garros.
The AI innovations at Roland-Garros build on a journey of AI advancements by Infosys, incorporating
machine learning and applied AI into properties like Match Centre, AI Videos & AI-Assisted
Journalism. These continue to evolve with expanded feature sets to enhance player performance, fan
engagement and tournament experiences.
Beyond tech innovations, Infosys is also collaborating with Fête le
Mur (FLM), a charity partner of FFT, to support tech-enabled learning initiatives for underprivileged
youth in Paris. As part of this, FLM will help develop tennis-related learning modules on Infosys
Springboard, a digital learning platform which enables upskilling for digital inclusion and social impact.
Courses will range from leadership and training to safeguarding for tennis camps and additional
sports. A group of 60 students will be offered the chance to visit Roland-Garros and take part in AI
and technology workshops led by Infosys experts. Additionally, the winner of a competition to identify
the biggest Rafa fan will receive an exclusive two-day experience at the Rafa Nadal Academy in
Spain.
Sumit Virmani, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Infosys said, “Sports has been witnessing a tech-
fuelled transformation and at Infosys we are excited to be leading the charge for tennis! Every year
we create unique experiences for the Roland-Garros community on the back of our deep tech
expertise. As enterprise AI reshapes industries globally, we are thrilled to deploy its power at the
tournament. With AI-powered insights, and personalized and engaging commentary, fans gain instant
access to rich information and in-depth analysis, while the Gen AI Poster Challenge unlocks limitless
creative expression. This is a truly exciting time for tennis fans as they experience the thrill of the
sports with action on court and beyond.”
Stephane Morel, CEO, FFT, said: “Our partnership with Infosys is transforming the fan experience at
Roland-Garros through AI. With the tech innovations for this year, Infosys has once again
demonstrated how AI can help to push the boundaries of fan engagement. From exploring match
insights in innovative ways using generative AI to celebrating our heritage with the Poster Challenge,
