launching the first ever ATP Tour fan app, and several AI-first
features powered by Infosys Topaz across the Infosys ATP Stats

data analysis with rich insights that have led to a 50% increase in
traffic on the stats section of the ATP website year-on-year. It
has seen over 5.7 million digital engagements from fans worldwide
for its rich content including rally analysis, 3D visualizations,
stroke summaries, and many point-by-point insight tools. Building

powered by AI and data to personalize experiences for players and
fans.
In addition, Infosys and ATP have created a positive impact on
society through the ATP Carbon Tracker, which helps monitor and
offsets the carbon footprint of players. Over 200 ATP players
engaged with the platform in 2023 alone, with 6.55 million
kilometers of travel tracked. This first of its kind sustainable
sports innovation will continue to help ATP accelerate its journey
to achieve net zero emissions by 2040.

partnership with Infosys until 2026. Over the years, Infosys'

difficult challenge and inspire greener choices for tomorrow. We're
excited to further leverage Infosys' expertise across the digital
landscape of men's professional tennis over the next three
years."
