What is IBM’s SlamTracker
Follow live scores point by point, real-time statistics and comprehensive analytical match analysis of The Championships with IBM Slamtracker. IBM Slamtracker visualises statistics data to give you unique insight into the way your favourite players are performing.
Leveraging IBM predictive analytics technology, we analyse over 7 years worth of Grand Slam Tennis data (~39 million data points) to find patterns and styles for players when they win. This knowledge is applied against an opponent’s patterns and style to determine the “keys” to the match for each player.
Prior to each match, the IBM Keys to the Match system will run an analysis of both competitors historic head-to-head stats, as well as stats against comparable play styles, to determine the “keys to winning” the match. The system ranks and filters the results into the top 3 keys.
The “Dashboard” is updated in real-time with current game statistics as the match unfolds. This feature provides another interesting dimension to following play.
IBM Slamtracker is available for all matches played at Wimbledon, and shows keys for all Gentlemen’s Singles and Ladies’ Singles matches on Show Courts.
