Infosys-Roland Garros extend AI partnership through 2031
PARIS, FRANCE — Infosys and the French Tennis Federation have extended their Roland-Garros technology partnership through 2031 with three new AI-powered fan experience tools built on the Infosys Topaz platform.
The 2026 suite adds Rolly, an AI StatsBot drawing on historical data from 2013; Rally, a humanoid robot with live insight and prediction modes; and Momentum, a real-time visual tracker of match dynamics.
According to a press release, the extended partnership also includes AI Commentary now available in French, an upgraded AI-Assisted Journalism Portal, and AI workshops for 60 underserved youth via the Infosys Springboard platform.
New AI slate anchors Infosys Roland-Garros renewal
Rolly delivers match narratives and historical context from Roland-Garros data dating to 2013, providing depth beyond statistics that the tournament’s existing digital platforms have not offered.
Rally, a humanoid robot debuting in 2026, offers three physical-venue interaction modes — selfie capture, match fortune predictions, and live AI insights — extending the AI experience beyond screens and into the arena.
The 2031 extension gives Infosys a five-year runway for successive AI capability deployments at one of the world’s most-watched tennis events, broadcast across 220 territories with 687,249 spectators in 2025.
“Our long-standing partnership with Infosys continues to push the boundaries of how Roland-Garros connects with its audience,” said Gilles Moretton, President of the French Tennis Federation.
Infosys Topaz powers personalized fan intelligence at scale
Infosys Topaz’s generative and agentic AI engine powers all three new features, processing real-time match data and historical records to generate contextual fan insights at scale.
Momentum, the third new feature, visualizes the emotional arc of a match — surfacing momentum shifts, set changes, and key scoring moments as interactive data in real time.
The Infosys-Roland-Garros model shows how AI applied to live sport data can scale personalized fan experience across 220 broadcast territories simultaneously.
“As AI continues to reshape how fans engage with live sport, the real opportunity lies in turning data into deeply engaging experiences,” said Sumit Virmani, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Infosys.
The Infosys-Roland-Garros partnership is part of a broader wave of enterprise technology firms embedding AI capabilities into major sports events. Comparable partnerships include IBM‘s work with Wimbledon, AWS’s ATP and U.S. Open integrations, and SAP’s European football AI deployments — each turning match data infrastructure into fan-facing intelligence.
The global AI-in-sports market is projected to exceed $12 billion by 2030, driven by streaming competition and rights holder demand for fan engagement differentiation.
For Infosys, the 2031 extension at Roland-Garros — now a record-attendance tournament at 687,249 in 2025 — secures a flagship AI deployment reference across 220 global broadcast markets.
