Infosys and Roland-Garros have announced an expanded line-up of AI-powered digital experiences for tennis fans ahead of Roland-Garros 2026, while also extending their long-standing AI and digital innovation partnership through 2031.
The collaboration aims to further transform fan engagement, coaching insights, player experiences and media storytelling through advanced generative and agentic AI technologies powered by Infosys Topaz, the company’s AI-first offering.
Building on existing digital platforms such as Match Centre, AI-Assisted Journalism and the Infosys 3D Art Museum, the new AI-driven experiences are designed to provide fans with more immersive, personalised, and data-rich interactions throughout the tournament.
One of the major additions for 2026 is “Rolly,” an AI-powered StatsBot integrated into the Roland-Garros website and mobile application. Powered by live and historical match data dating back to 2013, Rolly enables fans to interact conversationally with match statistics, rules and contextual insights in near real time. The system is designed to provide deeper analysis of match narratives and gameplay dynamics beyond conventional score tracking.
Infosys and Roland-Garros are also introducing “Rally,” an AI-powered humanoid robot aimed at enhancing on-site fan engagement at the tournament. Equipped with advanced audio and computer-vision capabilities, Rally will interact with visitors through multiple modes, including selfie experiences, tennis-themed predictions and live match conversations tailored to player styles and ongoing match data.
According to Infosys, the humanoid robot operates under Responsible AI principles to ensure secure, tennis-focused interactions within the Infosys Fan Zone.
Another key feature unveiled for the 2026 tournament is “Momentum,” a real-time visualisation tool designed to help fans better understand the flow of matches. The feature graphically highlights momentum swings, set transitions and key scoring moments, enabling viewers to follow match dynamics more intuitively as games progress.
The expanded partnership reflects the growing role of AI in sports technology, particularly in enhancing fan engagement, content creation and real-time analytics. Infosys said the integration of generative AI and conversational interfaces aims to make tennis experiences more accessible, interactive and immersive for global audiences.
The continued collaboration between Infosys and Roland-Garros also underscores the broader adoption of AI-driven experiences across major sporting events, where organisers increasingly use advanced analytics, automation and digital personalisation to deepen audience engagement both online and on-site.
