Pulse brings you for the first time the ability to interact with live coverage of the US Open. Express your opinion, track player progress, improve your tennis knowledge and best of all predict the game-by-game outcome of the match using Pulse.

Working in collaboration with IBM and USA Television Network, Pulse connects you with the heart of the game. Our operations staff are onsite at the US Open following every live match making the experience completely real-time. Pulse consists of three of different sections – all equally important and exciting!

Pulse Predictor

This section of Pulse presents you with the ability to make live predictions on the game as it unfolds. Who’s going to win the set? When will the next ace be hit? Just a couple of the predictions you can play on. Pulse gives its opinion on the match, but how you decide to predict is entirely your choice. You win points depending on how well you are able to predict the various elements of the game. Play against your friends and win prizes, one question - is your finger on the Pulse?

Pulse Pundit

Tired of not getting your voice heard? That’s history, now your opinion really counts! That’s why Pulse has teamed up with USA Television Network to put your points of view on air. Use Pulse Pundit to answer relevant questions about the match and tournament. Answer fast and you’ll add to the opinion poll that is broadcast on live television. Whether it’s, ‘Who has the best backhand?’ or, ‘Is the US Open the best Grand Slam event?’, we want your view.

Pulse Knowledge

This section gives you the chance to really build on your knowledge of tennis. Throughout the match you’ll receive a range of Hawkeye, IBM and other match statistics.

Pulse knowledge also keeps you informed on your Pulse progress. You’ll receive alerts every time one of your predictions is played out. Track these predictions to see where you’re scoring big and what elements of the game you need to improve on. You can check the leaderboard to see how you are doing compared to the other users.
