HOW TO PLAY

Deuce offers two ways to play fantasy tennis: the Bracket Challenge for Grand Slam predictions, and Season-Long Fantasy for year-round roster management. Both modes are free to play and available for ATP and WTA tours.


Bracket Challenge

1

Sign Up

Create a free Deuce account using your email, or sign in with Google or Apple.

2

Join a League

Join a public league that’s open to anyone and fills automatically, or create a private league with an invite code to play with friends.

3

Fill Your Bracket

Predict the winner of every match in a 128-player Grand Slam draw. Your picks lock when the first match begins. Bracket challenges are available four times per year — one for each Grand Slam.

4

Earn Points

Score points for each correct prediction. Later rounds are worth more, so a correct semifinal or final pick earns far more than a correct first-round pick. The player with the most points at the end of the tournament wins.


Season-Long Fantasy

1

Sign Up

Create a free Deuce account using your email, or sign in with Google or Apple.

2

Join a League

Join a public league that’s open to anyone and fills automatically, or create a private league with an invite code to play with friends. Season-long leagues activate once all spots are filled.

3

Build Your Roster

Draft 4 to 10 real ATP or WTA players within a $75M salary cap. Players are priced by ranking, and a tier system ensures no one can stack all the top players. You can make free transfers between tournaments.

4

Earn Points Across Tournaments

Your players earn points based on their real-world results in Grand Slams, Masters 1000s, and other tour events throughout the season. Track your ranking on the league leaderboard as the year unfolds.


Tips for New Players

  • Diversify surfaces — some players thrive on clay but struggle on grass. Balance your roster across surface specialists and all-court players.
  • Watch the calendar — transfers are free between tournaments, so adjust your roster before each event based on form, fitness, and surface.
  • Don't ignore lower-ranked players — value picks outside the top 50 can outperform expensive stars, especially at smaller tournaments where top seeds may skip.
  • Plan around Grand Slams — Grand Slams award the most points, so make sure your roster is optimised for each one. Some leagues enable a Grand Slam limit where each player can only be used for one Slam per year — check your league settings.
