Big Data is a game changer for sports. At the 2012 US Open tennis tournament, this means serving up accurate streams of data and analytics-driven insights to fans on individual social dashboards -- just like in business. During the US Open, IBM helps fans make instant, informed decisions about who's gaining an edge on the court and most likely to win -- well before the scores tell the final story. Connecting tennis fans to the action on the court, while delivering insight into what's happening throughout the matches is made possible by a unique digital experience powered by analytics, cloud computing and mobile technologies.
