IBM's Watson Is Playing at This Year's US Open

There are few jobs that IBM's Watson won't do. The supercomputer has created movie trailers, written musical scores, and even goofed around with Pokémon Go. Now, its newest task is running one of the biggest events in tennis: this month's US Open championships. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people gather at New York's Arthur Ashe Stadium to watch tennis' biggest names compete for the prestigious title. But coordinating an event of that size takes a lot of work, which is why IBM and the United States Tennis Association, the organization that runs the tournament, asked Watson to do a lot of the heavy lifting.
