What is Fantasy Tennis?

Fantasy tennis is a strategic game where you act as a team manager, selecting real-life tennis players from tournaments like the Chennai Open, Mumbai Open, and ATP/WTA events. Your success depends on their actual performance in matches, not a simulated game.

You analyze player stats, predict outcomes, and build a squad to compete in leagues. Points are awarded based on real-world actions like aces, winners, and match victories. It’s a test of your tennis knowledge, analytical prowess, and strategic planning, perfect for fans in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and beyond.

Select a squad size (e.g., 5 singles players, 2 doubles pairs) that aligns with your tournament strategy.

2. Analyze Players

Study player stats: recent form, surface performance, head-to-head records, and injury updates.

3. Assemble Squad

Pick singles and doubles players, balancing high-performing stars like Sumit Nagal with consistent performers within squad limits.

4. Select Star Player

Choose a star player whose points are doubled for the tournament round. Analyze matchups to maximize returns.

Craft Your Winning Strategy

Balance Your Squad

Don’t focus only on top seeds. Include consistent players like Ankita Raina and doubles specialists for steady points across tournaments.

Consider Surface Type

Analyze court surfaces (clay, hard, grass). Players like Sumit Nagal excel on clay, impacting performance in tournaments like the French Open.

Star Player Choice

Your star player’s points double. Select based on form, matchups, and tournament stage for maximum impact.

Plan Transfers

Use transfers strategically to replace underperforming or fatigued players, focusing on long-term tournament performance.

Track Recent Form

Prioritize players with strong performances in recent matches, like Rohan Bopanna’s doubles success, for better point potential.

Monitor Updates

Stay informed on injuries, withdrawals, and seedings to make proactive squad adjustments.
