Strategic Lineup Building

  • Research Surface Performance: Players perform differently on clay, grass, and hard courts. Check recent form on the tournament surface.
  • Analyze Head-to-Head Records: Historical matchups reveal player tendencies and psychological advantages.
  • Consider Tournament Stage: Early rounds favor consistent players; later rounds reward picking potential champions.
  • Balance Risk and Reward: Mix established stars with strategic underdog selections for optimal scoring potential.
  • Monitor Injury Reports: Player fitness directly impacts performance and fantasy output.
  • Study Serve Statistics: High ace counts and first-serve percentages correlate with fantasy success.
  • Track Break Point Conversion: Players who convert break opportunities accumulate points quickly.
  • Captain Selection Matters: Use your 2x multiplier on players with favorable matchups and strong recent form.

Advanced Strategy Guide

Tournament-Specific Strategies

Grand Slam Tournaments: Prioritize players with deep tournament run potential. The cumulative bonuses for reaching later rounds can eclipse single-match performance.

Masters 1000 Events: Balance between consistent point-scorers and high-ceiling players who can dominate specific matchups.

ATP 250/500 Events: Focus on current form over seeding. Smaller tournaments often see surprising performances from motivated players.

Weather and Court Conditions

Outdoor tournaments can be affected by wind and temperature, impacting serve effectiveness. Indoor hard courts favor big servers, while clay courts reward consistent baseline players with strong defensive games.
