As the 2019 Wimbledon Championships drew to a close, Novak Djokovic overcame Roger Federer in one of the most memorable and exciting finals ever witnessed. Thanks to A.I. technologies, audiences could view more action from the tournament's 660 matches than ever before. The 13-day competition spans 18 courts with hundreds of players competing, making it a near-impossible task to package highlights together for every game.
