Flexible LLM-agnostic platform built on Google Cloud powers real-time athletic inference by combining foundation AI models with proprietary sports science.

INDIAN WELLS, CALIFORNIA, USA - Nov. 9th, 2026 - Orreco AI today announced the tournament deployment of its specialized Tennis AI Agent built on Google Cloud, equipping elite coaches and players with real-time technical, tactical, nutritional, and physical recovery intelligence.

Developed on Google Cloud, the platform is accessible directly through Orreco Tennis Vice President Shane Liyanage and his team, bringing cloud-powered precision and multi-modal sports science to match preparation and tournament load management.

Orreco AI has architected its machine learning infrastructure on Google Cloud since inception. By combining Google Cloud's enterprise infrastructure with a flexible, Large Language Model (LLM) agnostic architecture - meaning it can seamlessly integrate any leading AI model without vendor lock-in - Orreco AI powers its agents using proprietary Orreco AI inference built from real-world experience and performance outcomes at the highest levels of sport. This combines cutting-edge AI models with specialized sports science knowledge bases engineered over a decade to understand complex athlete responses under competition stress.

The multi-modal platform delivers intelligence across four core performance pillars:

• Technical & Tactical Intelligence: Processes high-fidelity ball and player tracking from computer vision technology alongside deep opponent profiling to model serve-return behaviours, rally patterns, and surface-specific tactical adjustments.
• Multi-Modal Nutritional & Physical Recovery Guidance: Enables instant visual analysis of tournament menus, food items, and recipes. Orreco AI can generate real-time, dish-by-dish nutritional breakdowns to optimize glycogen replenishment, polyphenol-driven muscle repair, and connective tissue support tailored to match timing.
• Environmental & Microclimate Tuning: Factors in court weather conditions - including ambient temperatures, humidity, roof status, and show court "heat bowl" microclimates - to suggest customized hydration, electrolyte, and thermoregulation protocols.
• Physiological & Hormonal Deep Integration: The platform can dynamically align recovery strategies with acute training load, historical recovery data, blood biomarker profiles, and individual hormonal profiles to protect health and accelerate recovery between gruelling Grand Slam, elite tournaments across hardcourt, clay and grass surfaces and long haul travel across the season.

Specialized AI Agents Developed with Elite Coaches

Building world-class AI agents remains an active, continuous co-development process. Developed in an ongoing partnership with premier tour coaches including Sven Groeneveld, Issam Jellali, Anton Dubrov, Gilles Cervara, and Sandra Zaniewska, the ecosystem combines real-time Orreco AI insights with coach-specific agent builds.

Bringing decades of Grand Slam and ATP/WTA tour-winning expertise, each participating coach is developing their own specialized agent tailored to their unique approach to performance, leveraging computer vision menu analysis, heat protocols, computer vision and physiological/hormonal recovery data.

In addition to utilizing real-time Orreco AI insights, each coach is developing their own dedicated agent built on their unique philosophy and approach to athletic performance, encoding their specific tactical scouting methodologies, high-power baseline strategies, match periodization models, and holistic athlete recovery workflows into their custom agents.
