The World Humanoid Robot Games Also Ran the First Live-Streamed Human-Robot Doubles Tennis Match
Beyond the 100m sprint record, WHRG'26 in Beijing staged what is billed as the first live-streamed doubles tennis match pairing humans with Galbot humanoid robots, drawing 468 upvotes and 86 comments on r/singularity. Doubles tennis is a harder demonstration than sprinting because it requires tracking a fast ball, coordinating with a human partner and reacting rather than executing a fixed gait. Single-source on the specific match format, so treat the framing as promotional until independent event coverage lands.
