Deployed on Microsoft Surface devices, Match Insights combines mobility and reliability, giving teams access to live insights not only courtside but also in the locker room or off-site.
As one of the few elite tournaments that permits on-court coaching, the Billie Jean King Cup presents unique demands for instant, precision-driven tactical decisions. In this environment, even the smallest variations in serve response time or ball placement can alter the outcome of a match.
To address this, Valorem Reply, Microsoft, and the ITF designed Match Insights as a cloud-native application built on Microsoft Azure Data & AI services. The platform captures and processes live data from high-speed cameras and court-level systems to deliver low-latency insights that coaches and players can act upon immediately. Azure Databricks, Data Lake, and SQL Database serve as the backbone for data transformation, storage, and access, while Microsoft Copilot integration via Azure AI Foundry enables natural language interaction with complex match data. Security, identity management, and observability are managed through Azure Active Directory and Azure Monitor, with CI/CD pipelines supporting continuous updates throughout the tournament.
“This solution is vital in a game where you’re looking to get near real-time access to the data,” said Jamie Capel-Davies, Head of Science and Technical at the ITF. “Working with Valorem Reply and Microsoft allowed us to provide coaches and players with information that can genuinely change the course of a match.”
Deployed on Microsoft Surface devices, Match Insights combines mobility and reliability, giving teams access to live insights not only courtside but also in the locker room or off-site. In addition to real-time analysis, the solution empowers pre-match preparation through scouting and trend recognition, and supports post-match analysis with AI-enriched datasets that inform long-term training and strategy. Coaches benefit from intuitive dashboards covering key areas such as serves, returns, hit points and court coverage, without the delays of traditional post-match reporting.
The innovation has already demonstrated significant impact. Coaches are now able to adjust match strategies in real time, analysts can identify rally and scoring patterns more effectively, and players gain actionable insights that extend beyond individual matches.
