## A board tuned for fantasy tennis

Filter and sort players by position, team, and your own custom ratings so the right pick is always one tap away.

**Positions on the board:** Baseliner, Serve-volley, All-court, Clay specialist

**Draft the biggest names:** Load players from across the ATP and WTA tours — for example: Australian Open, Roland-Garros, Wimbledon, US Open

## How to run a fantasy tennis draft

1. **Build your fantasy tennis board.** Upload a CSV of players from the ATP and WTA tours with your own ranks and any rating columns you care about, or start from a template and edit it.
2. **Set the format and invite your league.** Choose a snake draft, a budget auction, or a hybrid of both, set the order or randomise it, then share one join link with your managers.
3. **Draft it live.** Every manager picks on the same synced clock. Auto-pick keeps the fantasy tennis draft moving if someone loses signal, and the commissioner can undo a pick or skip a turn if it goes wrong.

## What matters in a fantasy tennis draft

The board is only half of it — here is how fantasy tennis leagues usually approach draft day.

A Grand Slam draw of a hundred and twenty-eight is the cleanest bracket draft in sport: split it between managers and score by rounds survived. The draw itself does the work.

Seeding tells you who should win, but section of the draw tells you who will get there. A lower seed in a soft quarter is worth more than a higher one in a brutal half.

Surface changes everything and world ranking hides it. Carry a surface-specific column so a clay specialist prices correctly in May and does not in July.
