A group of researchers at Stanford University developed an AI model. This model has been trained to understand the strategies of different players so that it can create video sprites of them. This means that matches or certain situations can be simulated using this.
As every tennis fan remembers, Roger Federer missed a forehand on his first championship point. This was analyzed by the AI model and it gave way to some very interesting results. If Roger had hit his forehand a little towards the left, the shot would have been a winner and sealed the title.
This is going to upset every tennis fan as the Swiss Maestro could have won his 21st Slam and he lost it by a very small margin. Roger himself admitted that he cried after the match. However, he is now going to be focused on the future.
