How to Play

Building Your Lineup

Each contest has a salary cap. Select players across different price tiers to maximize your roster strength while staying under budget. Your lineup typically includes:

  • Top Players (3-4): High-cost favorites with consistent performance
  • Mid-Tier Players (2-3): Value picks with good matchups
  • Risky Picks (1-2): Budget players with upset potential
  • Captain Choice: One player who earns 1.5x points

Contest Types

Grand Slam Contests: Multi-day tournaments covering entire major championships. Build daily lineups as the tournament progresses.

Daily Contests: Single-day competitions based on scheduled ATP/WTA matches. Quick turnaround and immediate results.

Head-to-Head: Compete against one opponent. Winner takes the leaderboard with highest score.

Tournament Leagues: Large-field contests with hundreds of participants. Top finishers climb the overall leaderboard.

Winning Strategies

🎯 Research Matchups

Study head-to-head records, surface preferences, and recent form. Clay court specialists dominate on red dirt while serve-and-volley players excel on grass.

📊 Monitor Live Stats

Track first-serve percentages, break point conversion rates, and unforced errors. Adjust future lineups based on trending player performance.

💰 Balance Your Budget

Don’t blow the entire salary cap on top seeds. Mix favorites with value plays. One underdog breakthrough can vault you up the leaderboard.

👑 Choose Captain Wisely

The 1.5x multiplier is crucial. Pick a player with high floor (consistent scoring) and ceiling (explosive potential). Consider favorable matchups.

🌍 Surface Matters

Hard court, clay, and grass play differently. Rafael Nadal dominates clay, while players like Roger Federer historically excelled on grass courts.

⚡ Late Swap Strategy

Monitor injury reports and last-minute withdrawals. Swap players before contest lock to avoid zero-point roster spots from scratched players.

Scoring Example

Let’s see how a strong performance translates to fantasy points:

Player: Top Seed (Captain – 1.5x multiplier)

  • Match Win: +50 points
  • 3 Sets Won: 3 × 20 = +60 points
  • 18 Games Won: 18 × 4 = +72 points
  • 12 Aces: 12 × 8 = +96 points
  • 5 Break Points Won: 5 × 12 = +60 points
  • Straight Sets Win Bonus: +25 points
  • 10+ Aces Bonus: +20 points

Base Total: 383 points

Captain Multiplier: 383 × 1.5 = 574.5 points

Important Reminders

  • Players who withdraw after contest lock will score 0 points. Always check injury news.
  • Match retirements count as losses with 0 points for all remaining scoring opportunities.
  • Scoring is based on official ATP/WTA statistics. Disputed calls follow tournament rulings.
  • Captain selection is final at contest lock. Choose carefully before deadline.
