Beta season

Fantasy tennis for friends

Sixth Set

Tennis stops at five sets. The sixth one is played here, with six players on your team.

A season-long fantasy game on the real ATP Tour. Pick six players, give each one a role, and score from what they actually do on court.

The beta is on now: from the Paris Masters to the Finals.

Read the rules

  • 250
  • 500
  • 1000
  • Slams
  • Finals

Every 250, 500 and 1000 event, the four Grand Slams and the Finals. Main draws only.

Show the team in
Your team on court A court seen from behind the near baseline. Serve stands at the centre of the near baseline with the captain's armband, Return behind it on the left, Defense behind it on the right, Clutch at the net. R1 and R2 sit on the bench chairs beside the near half; in a Slam week they move into the alleys as the forehand and backhand specialists. Clutch Return Defense C Serve Captain ×2 R1 Reserve Forehand R2 Reserve Backhand
Tour week: four starters play, R1 and R2 wait on the bench. A reserve comes on only if a starter withdraws before his match, R1 first. Slam week: no bench. R1 plays as the forehand specialist, R2 as the backhand specialist, and all six score.

Roles, not just a roster

Picking winners is half the game. Each of the four starting slots scores from its own stats in the real match, on top of points for every round won.

Serve
aces − ½ double faults
Aces pay. Double faults cost half as much.
Return
% of return points won
How much he wins on the other man's serve.
Clutch
break points converted + tiebreaks won
The big points, and only those.
Defense
break points saved − ½ service games lost
A role for fighters who keep digging out of trouble, not only for stars.

+ round points for every match won: more for later rounds and bigger events. Your captain scores double on everything.

At the Slams, all six play

Shot-by-shot stats are only available at the Grand Slams, so that is where the bench steps on court.

R1 Forehand
Forehand winners, minus a share of forehand unforced errors.
R2 Backhand
Backhand winners, minus a share of backhand unforced errors.

The rest of the year R1 and R2 sit on the bench as reserves.

Prices follow the ranking and move once a week. Anyone can own anyone: a player can sit in every team in the league, but only once in yours.

Players lock one by one

A player is locked from the start of his match day until his match is over. Everyone else stays open, so two tournaments in the same week never block each other.

A Tuesday with two tournaments

Your player in Vienna plays at 15:00. Locked from 11:00, the start of play there, until his match ends at 17:10.

Your player in Basel has no match today. Open all day.

The match day starts with the first scheduled match at his tournament, local time.

Three tables, one league

  • Season from the first event to the Finals
  • Month a fresh start every month
  • Slam a table for each Grand Slam

It starts as a league of friends. The beta is on now, for the rest of the 2026 season, and the 2027 season starts in January. It runs in the browser; later it installs on your phone like an app.
