Australian Open YouTube live streaming: Story behind animated players

If you’ve been watching the Australian Open and stumbled across the live stream on YouTube, you might have thought you accidentally clicked into a video game. The players, rather than looking like their usual selves, appear as quirky, cartoonish avatars straight out of *Wii Sports*, a sports video game that was launched back in 2006. It was an amusing sight that has left many viewers both confused and entertained.
