Sinclair Broadcast Group says it will use artificial intelligence (AI) to translate some of its tennis coverage into Spanish.
Machine learning tools will first be used for the Tennis Channel’s series “Petko Unfiltered,” hosted by former German professional tennis player and network analyst Andrea Petkovic.
The show airs in several European countries on regional variants of the Tennis Channel, with translated episodes debuting in Spain later this year. The same episodes air on T2, Sinclair’s tennis-focused free, ad-supported streaming television channel, in the United States.
The translations will be produced by HeyGen, an AI-focused video company that specializes in translation and lip-synchronization services, Sinclair said in a press release on Tuesday.
HeyGen will not only provide translations in Spanish: The video production firm can also change Petkovic’s facial expressions, so they match the translated speech that is overlaid as an audio track.

Former top 10 player and French Open semi-finalist Petkovic had announced last week that the New York grand slam would be her swansong, although she may appear once more at a smaller event in Europe to give friends and family a final chance to see her play.
“I was really devastated over the last five days,” Petkovic said after the first-round defeat, admitting to “pure sadness.”
Petkovic said she initially wanted to announce her retirement a few weeks ago but that this plan ended when American icon Serena Williams said in Vogue magazine that the US Open would be her finale.

The United States Tennis Association extended their apologizes after playing a Nazi-era version of Germany’s national anthem before a Fed Cup match on Saturday in Hawaii between the two countries.
“The Usta extends its sincerest apologies to the German Fed Cup team and all of its fans for the performance of an outdated national anthem prior to today’s Fed Cup competition,” the tennis body said in a statement, the Washington Post reports. “In no way did we mean any disrespect. This mistake will not occur again, and the correct anthem will be performed for the remainder of this first-round tie.
