Tennis-AI serves up 3D tennis and chatty commentary in U.S. Open first‎

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Tennis fans at this year's U.S Open can now watch the world's top players battle it out in 3D cartoon form while chatting with an AI commentator that has been trained to bite its digital tongue when things get heated. The tournament has introduced technology that transforms real matches into animated replays featuring robot-like doppelgangers of tennis stars, complete with a chatbot that offers insights but diplomatically dodges drama. When world number one Jannik Sinner stepped up to serve in his first round match, his AI version took more than a minute to materialise on phone screens, jumping out of thin air in yellow attire, minus the white sleeve covering Sinner's injured arm.
