Advanced coaching through AI videos will continue to help players & coaches strategize their game better and breathtaking moments from multiple matches will be published using AI Shot of the Day.
• Driving the digital experience vision: Driving the 360 digital experience vision for the Australian Open in the next decade begins with an end-to-end design assessment of a fan's digital touchpoints with the AO. Areas for growth will be identified and world class innovation will place the fan right in the middle of the digital experience.
