The ATP just gave tennis fans something they’ve never had before: a chance to prove they know more than the experts.
ATP Fantasy, the Tour’s first official fantasy game, launched Monday in collaboration with Deltatre. Starting April at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, fans can step into the coach’s seat, build their dream team, and compete against friends, family, and the world for prizes—including tickets to the 2027 Nitto ATP Finals.
How It Works
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Budget | 100 credits |
| Roster | 8 players (6 starters, 2 alternates) |
| Season | 23 tournament weeks (April–November) |
| Scoring | Round reached + tournament category + bonus/penalty points |
| Swings | Clay, Grass, North American Hard Court, Race to Nitto ATP Finals |
Player pricing is determined by the PIF ATP Live Rankings. The top of the market:
| Player | Price (Credits) |
|---|---|
| Carlos Alcaraz | 40 |
| Jannik Sinner | 36 |
| Alexander Zverev | 33 |
| Novak Djokovic | 30 |
Build your squad, stay under budget, and watch the points roll in.
How Scoring Works
Points aren’t just about winning. Every shot matters.
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Tournament round reached | Varies by tournament category |
| Ace | Bonus |
| Double fault | Penalty |
| Straight-set win | Bonus |
| Bagel (6-0 set) | Bonus |
| Upset (beating higher-ranked player) | Bonus |
The scoring system rewards dominance, efficiency, and shock results. Pick the players who not only win, but win emphatically.
The Expert: Dominic Thiem
Former world No. 3 and 16-time tour-level titlist Dominic Thiem will serve as ATP’s Official Fantasy Coach. Every week, Thiem will provide his picks and insights to help fans make strategic decisions.
A network of tennis creators and broadcasters—including Tennis TV, Tennis Channel, and Sky Sports—will also host their own ATP Fantasy leagues, giving fans even more ways to engage.
The Swings and Prizes
The season is structured around four key swings, each with dedicated leaderboards and prizes:
| Swing | Period |
|---|---|
| Clay Season | April–June |
| Grass Season | June–July |
| North American Hard Court | July–August |
| Race to Nitto ATP Finals | September–November |
Prizes include:
-
ATP partner merchandise
-
ATP Store merchandise
-
Tickets to select ATP Tour events in 2027
The overall winner receives two tickets to two sessions of the 2027 Nitto ATP Finals, with accommodation and flights included.
Why This Matters
Andrew Walker, ATP Senior Vice President, Brand & Marketing, explained the strategy:
“Fantasy sport has a proven track record as a powerful tool for deepening fan engagement. ATP Fantasy gives fans a new way to interact with the ATP and connect with players and tournaments across the entire season, while opening a fresh entry point for the next generation of tennis fans to experience our sport.”
Peter Bellamy, Chief Revenue Officer at Deltatre, added:
“This direct-to-consumer Fantasy deployment demonstrates how the right mix of content, data, technology and community can underpin the acquisition of untapped demographics and create a new layer of fan engagement.”
How to Join
ATP Fantasy launches with the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters (April 2026) and runs through the Rolex Paris Masters (November 2026). Fans can create private leagues with friends, join global leaderboards, and track their teams through the ATP Fantasy platform.
The message is clear: the ATP wants you in the game. Not watching from the stands. Not scrolling scores. But building rosters, making trades, and sweating every ace and double fault like you’re courtside.
