What is a Tennis Fantasy Score Calculator?
A Tennis Fantasy Score Calculator is an essential tool for Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) enthusiasts and league managers. In fantasy tennis, participants draft professional players onto their virtual teams. The score these players generate is not just based on who wins the match, but on granular performance metrics.
Unlike team sports where scoring is straightforward, tennis scoring involves multiple layers—points, games, and sets. This calculator standardizes these disparate statistics into a single numerical value, allowing users to project player performance or audit past match scores for accuracy. Understanding these weights is crucial for identifying high-value players who may lose a match but still generate significant fantasy points through aces or games won.
How to Calculate Tennis Fantasy Score (Example)
Let’s assume Player A plays a 3-set match with the following stats:
- Identify Stats: Won 12 games, Lost 10 games, Won 2 Sets, Lost 1 Set, Hit 5 Aces, 2 Double Faults.
- Calculate Game Points: (12 × 2.5) + (10 × -2) = 30 – 20 = 10 pts.
- Calculate Set Points: (2 × 6) + (1 × -3) = 12 – 3 = 9 pts.
- Calculate Serve Points: (5 × 0.4) + (2 × -1) = 2 – 2 = 0 pts.
- Add Match Bonus: Standard appearance/completion bonus = 30 pts.
- Total: 10 + 9 + 0 + 30 = 49 Points.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do retired matches count towards the score?
Typically, if a player retires, they keep points accumulated up to that moment, but lose the match bonus. Check your specific league rules.
Are tie-breaks counted as games?
Yes, in most fantasy formats, a tie-break is considered a game won for the winner and a game lost for the loser.
How heavily are Aces weighted?
Aces are usually low-weight events (+0.4 to +0.5), but for “big servers” like Isner or Karlovic, they can accumulate to equal a full set win over the course of a match.
What is the Clean Sheet bonus?
Some leagues offer a bonus (e.g., +10 points) if a player wins a set 6-0 (a “bagel”). This calculator focuses on the core stats.
