AI-powered game recaps for tennis, an industry-first
January 27, 2026
At FanWord, we’re on a mission to build solutions that help support and drive coverage for every sport.
Each new sport we add means more time saved for college sports communicators — time that can be spent getting home a little earlier on a Friday night, or focusing on higher-impact work.
To this point, no solution has existed to help automate game recap creation for tennis.
Until now.
We’re excited to announce that tennis is now fully supported inside FanWord Assist, using DakTennis and XML/XTG stat results to generate AI-powered game recaps.
Say hello to our eighteenth sport.
Welcome to the family, tennis. 🎾
Tennis is now supported inside FanWord Assist
For the first time, SIDs can conveniently transform official match data into clear, accurate, and customizable recaps without starting from a blank page or a manual template.
It’s a first for the sport.
FanWord CEO and former Nebraska Huskers tennis player Chris Aumueller had this to say:
“We’re thrilled to announce the addition of tennis. As a former college tennis player, I am excited to help spearhead the movement for equal coverage for every sport on campus.”
How FanWord Assist Handles Tennis Recaps
FanWord can read both DakTennis and XML/XTG files to create high-quality, customizable tennis recaps. Watch the video below to see the process in action.
Built to Assist SIDs
We’ve spent years working alongside college sports communicators, and one thing is clear:
Tennis deserves the same support as every other sport.
This release means less time scanning stats and fewer late nights writing recaps. It also provides an opportunity to cover the sport with greater consistency, creating faster and more accurate content with the ability to tell the story beyond the recap.
And for SIDs that didn’t make the trip to the latest match, you can say goodbye to the guesswork and let our software help with the write-up.
Available Now
Tennis recap support is live now inside FanWord Assist for programs using DakTennis or XML/XTG data.
If you’d like to see how tennis recaps work, explore how they fit into your current workflow, or get your program set up, schedule a demo anytime.
