If there is something magical about tennis, it is that it can be very unpredictable and that emotions at key moments cannot be parameterized by data, but statistical analysis can provide great advantages. So you can attest to it Aryna Sabalenkaa woman who has been receiving information perfectly refined and filtered by her team for more than five years. From now on, you will have all the resources of the Artificial intelligence.

Giving up tools as powerful as those that delve into advanced statistics would be very foolish. Tennis is a sport that can be perfectly analyzed with data, as long as that is taken as a guide from which it is necessary to make variations on the fly. If there is someone who has known how to squeeze the juice out of statistical data analysis, it is Aryna Sabalenka. In the Belarusian team there are true gurus on the subject and since 2020, the current world number 1 has made this aspect an important part of her career.

But what no one expected is that a new world would now open up to Aryna. And it is that Data Driven Sports Analytics (DDSA)the company Sabalenka works with, has been acquired by Orrecoa true business giant in terms of sports technology, at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence applied to sports and backed by billionaire Mark Cuban. This company rose to fame a long time ago for its predictions about the risk of injury in athletes, taking into account various factors, and providing rest and recovery times to prevent these predicted injuries from becoming a reality.

Aryna Sabalenka, Artificial Intelligence

Sabalenka will have a spectacular tool to prevent injuries

In addition, it has become a reference in terms of recovery and optimization of sports performance, with complete blood tests. The objective of this purchase is to become fully involved in tactical and strategic sports management, uniting its avant-garde knowledge in Artificial intelligencewith all the know-how accumulated by DDSA over years. “This is a great advance for high-performance tennis. DDSA has been key in my career to analyze my rivals, develop my tennis and make better decisions on the court,” commented the Belarusian, reacting to the acquisition.

In an individual sport like tennis, with such a busy calendar and in which players have room for maneuver when deciding which tournaments they play, having an injury prevention tool that has already shown its effectiveness can be decisive. If we add to that the advances that can occur with the alliance of the two companies in terms of tactical analysis, tennis can enter a futuristic stage with consequences unimaginable a few years ago. The Artificial intelligence will be at the service of a true tennis machine, such as Aryna Sabalenka.
