Leveraging Infosys Topaz, an AI-first offering powered by generative and agentic AI technologies, these new experiences are designed to deepen how fans, coaches, players, and media engage with the sport. For fans, they deliver more intuitive, insightful, and immersive ways to experience live tennis. Building on existing platforms such as Match Centre, AI-Assisted Journalism, and the Infosys 3D Art Museum, the latest updates introduce richer real-time insights, conversational interfaces, and personalized on-site interactions and enable media teams with AI-assisted storytelling.
The new AI-powered innovations for 2026 include:
- Rolly - AI StatsBot: Rolly, the AI-powered StatsBot available on both the Roland-Garros website and mobile app, goes beyond answering statistical and rule-based questions to provide deeper insight into match narratives and context. With access to live and historical match data dating back to 2013, Rolly enables fans to explore scores, stats, and match dynamics through natural, near real-time interactions.
- Rally - Humanoid Robot: Fans can meet Rally, an advanced AI-powered humanoid robot designed to elevate on-site engagement. With enhanced audio and computer-vision capabilities, Rally delivers personalized interactions. These include capturing memories in Selfie Mode, delivering playful tennis–themed predictions through Serve Me a Fortune mode or Ask Rally, an interactive chat experience offering live match insights tailored to players' playing styles, powered by real-time Roland-Garros match data. The humanoid operates under strict Responsible AI principles to ensure secure, tennis-focused interactions, making it a standout feature of the Infosys Fan Zone.
- Momentum: Momentum provides a clear visual representation of how a match unfolds in real time. It highlights shifts in momentum, set changes, and key scoring moments, enabling fans to intuitively follow the rhythm and pivotal turning points of play as they happen.
Several existing platforms also return with meaningful enhancements. These include:
- AI Commentary: Now also available in French, improving accessibility for local audiences while reducing latency and improving the delivery of real-time match narration.
- Excitement Rating: Refined with a simplified "Exciting" indicator to help fans quickly identify the most intense matches live.
- AI-Assisted Journalism Portal: Upgraded with greater customisation options, improved image-editing tools, and new plug-and-play infographic templates, enabling faster, more flexible content creation for media and tournament stakeholders.
In addition to these innovations, Infosys continues its collaboration with Association Fête le mur (FLM), a charity partner of FFT, to support tech-enabled learning initiatives for underprivileged youth in
Gilles Moretton, President, French Tennis Federation, said, "Our long-standing partnership with Infosys continues to push the boundaries of how Roland-Garros connects with its audience. By combining the tournament's heritage with advanced AI technologies, we are creating richer, more inclusive experiences that resonate with fans on-site and around the world, while staying true to the spirit of the game."
Sumit Virmani, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Infosys, said, "As AI continues to reshape how fans engage with live sport, the real opportunity lies in turning data into deeply engaging experiences. At Roland-Garros, we are leveraging AI to go beyond simply presenting match information by enabling fans to experience the momentum, context, and emotion of the game in real time. These innovations underscore our commitment to building intelligent, human-centric digital ecosystems that enhance engagement at scale."
