Wimbledon 2018: AI Marries Tennis Tradition With Digital Innovation

Forbes - Tech

The general consensus is that Wimbledon is the world's greatest tennis tournament. Sure, some people will vouch for the drama under lights at Flushing Meadows, or the magic of the clay courts at Roland Garros, but Wimbledon is the most prestigious. Every decision made by the All England Club (AELTC) is based on how it will improve the tournament's reputation rather than how much revenue it generates. The grass courts, the all-white uniforms and pristine grounds all contribute to its image, while the absence of on-court advertising is unique among tennis's Grand Slams. It's this attention to detail that means the club sees only Augusta National, host of golf's US Masters as its equal, and why it has invested millions in upgrading facilities and increasing prize money.
