It’s Wimbledon season and that means tennis, strawberries and Pimm’s. It also means big data analytics. Previous Forbes writers have chided tennis for being behind other sports in data analytics, but this suggestion may need some clarification.

Scoop.it!
Luca Naso's insight:
At the Wimbledon tennis tournament, IBM will use a solution based on InfoSphere + Watson. This will make it possible not only to collect information just about everything that happens to the players and to the balls, but also to relate this large set of data with historical information and to query it using Natural Language.
There's more.
With so much data about each shot and player, it will be possible to analyse players' playing style. This will in turn allow the players to study their opponents' weakness and strengths to better prepare next matches.
A very interesting note.
IBM is training tennis professionals to use the data entry system, rather than training data scientists on tennis.
Yet another proof of the importance of having field experts (about the specific industry under consideration).
