New for 2008 are these LED scoreboards (in the centre of this photo) which also show player stats and profiles, can replay shots and show the Hawk-Eye radar system when players query a line call.
The data shown on these screens is gathered and managed by IBM and is one of the most visible signs of the huge amount of IT work going on under the covers.
AELTC CIO, Jeff Lucas, told silicon.com the tech is being used before the full tournament even starts with data being gathered during the qualifying tournament this week. The systems were all tested earlier in the spring before being effectively locked for the tournament.
Lucas said: "It's all to do with supporting the tournament overall and the information around it. It's basically an integration project."
