Automated highlights, augmented reality and an all-knowing chatbot called ‘Ask Fred’ are among the new innovations from the the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) and IBM at this year’s Championships.

The AELTC and IBM announced on Tuesday that they are introducing a raft of innovations for the 2017 tournament in order to engage existing supporters and try to expand the tournament's global audience.

‘Ask Fred’ - named after Britain’s legendary three-time Wimbledon champion Fred Perry - is enabled by IBM’s Watson technology and offers a cognitive assistant to answer questions from fans visiting the event.
