IBM launched limb tracking at this year’s U.S. Open – and it’s scoring every tennis player’s serve for fans to see
Fortune 29
IBM launched “serve quality” in the U.S. Open app, using camera-based limb tracking processed by WatsonX to score every player’s serve movements for fans. The feature analyzes 20+ points per player and will process about 1.2 billion joints by the end of the 2026 tournament. Fans can now view an after-match serve quality score (and insights) in the app for each singles match, with plans to extend skeletal tracking to more shots and future tournaments.
