Sumit Nagal, for instance, posted a 78% first-serve win rate, exceeding his expected performance (xSP: 74%) against a tough opponent.

Rally win rates highlighted defensive prowess, with Ankita Raina winning 65% of rallies over 10 shots, showcasing her endurance. Stamina metrics also played a role, as players like Rohan Bopanna maintained high performance levels in five-set matches. These insights help fantasy managers identify consistent performers for upcoming tournaments.

By comparing pre-match expectations with actual outcomes, we spotlight players who defy statistical models, offering valuable picks for your fantasy team. Stay ahead with our detailed breakdowns tailored for Indian tennis fans.

Choosing fantasy players involves weighing current form against surface-specific performance. A player in top form on clay may struggle on hard courts, impacting their fantasy points. Our analytics use metrics like surface-adjusted win rates and expected points (xP) to guide decisions.

For example, a player with a 70% win rate on hard courts but facing a clay-heavy schedule may underperform, while a clay specialist like Sumit Nagal could shine in upcoming Indian tournaments. We analyze historical data, recent form, and opponent strength to provide clear recommendations.

Contextual factors, such as fatigue from long rallies or home-crowd support in Bengaluru, also matter. Our tools help you balance these variables, ensuring your team is optimized for maximum points across ATP and WTA events.

The serve-and-volley tactic is making a comeback, especially on fast surfaces like those at the Australian Open. Players employing this style, such as Rohan Bopanna, generate quick points, boosting their fantasy value through high serve win rates and net-point conversions.

Our analytics track net approaches, volley win percentages, and point-ending shot data to highlight players excelling in this tactic. For instance, a player with a 68% net-point win rate can be a differential pick in fantasy leagues, especially in tournaments favoring aggressive play.

We also examine opponent tendencies, as serve-and-volley players perform best against baseline-heavy opponents. Use our insights to spot these players early and gain an edge in your Mumbai or Delhi-based fantasy leagues.
