this year\u2019s US Open, with the data now available instantly taking their viewing experience to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>The game\u2019s top players have become increasingly reliant on highly detailed statistics on both their matches, with the analysis of their opponents forming a crucial part of their pre-match preparations.<\/p>\n<p>That data has started to be rolled out to a wider audience in recent years and at the US Open, IBM have taken that offering to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>The official US Open app is bringing fans closer to the game with live data that allows them to understand more about the matches they are watching either at Flushing Meadows or on TV around the world.<\/p>\n<p>A new Serve Quality metric puts a whole new spin on how fans consume tennis and gain a more technical understanding of what they are watching.<\/p>\n<h2>More Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/coco-gauff-serve-statistic-usopen\">Coco Gauff claims

a lowly No 35 in surprising statistic that confirms he can improve<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Available across all 254 singles matches at this year\u2019s US Open, the AI-powered tool uses advanced limb-tracking technology developed with IBM Bob to help analyse the precise mechanics of every serve \u2013 with 21 data points across the body and racquet, tracked 50 times per second.<\/p>\n<p>That means everything from wrist flex to the transfer of energy from a player\u2019s legs through their torso is captured, generating roughly 1.2 billion data points over the course of the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>The continuous stream of live data on serving efficiency, accuracy, consistency and ball toss, gives fans a real-time way to understand what makes a great serve great.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018likelihood to win\u2019 tracker is also included on the US Open app, with the changing phases of a match reflected in this data.<\/p>\n<p>Fans can also get involved in \u2018Match Chat\u2019, with the idea that they are watching the match and getting additional information from the US Open app a modern way to engage more fans in the action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe data

I can\u2019t think about 15 to 20 different things if I\u2019m returning or serving. That\u2019s where the coach comes in. If there\u2019s data that they can look at that\u2019s obvious, they can then give that to the player, and the player can kind of go with those three or four bullet points.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just in tennis that these features are being offered to sports fans, as they are now becoming a crucial part of the experience watching a match.<\/p>\n<p>The evolution of AI technology looks certain to ensure this area of sports viewing will move to several new levels in the coming years, with tennis fans eager to join the push to bring fans closer to the sport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/wimbledon-statistics-inside-story\"><strong>Inside story on the data hub driving the Wimbledon statistics machine<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tennis fans getting a chance to access match data previously only seen by players at US Open Kevin Palmer 06 Sep 2026 5:00 PM US Open data by IBM Tennis fans around the world are being given some incredible insight into action at this year\u2019s US Open, with the data now available instantly taking their [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-2130956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2130956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2130956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2130956\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2130956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2130956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2130956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
