Tennis fan fantasy now a reality with online league

Tennis fans will finally get the chance to fulfill their on-court dreams vicariously as a first-ever online fantasy league takes shape

The Tennis Fantasy Tour, formulated by the London husband-and-wife team of Toby and Vian Hill, came to life after the pair of keen fans could not find a suitable online gaming platform for their favourite sport.

So the pair – a copywriter and art director (Vian) and a sports lawyer (Toby) – then got to work and created their own, which is now ready for the 2026 ATP and WTA seasons.

The free TFT platform will allow fans the chance to manage their own squad of players and provides a new way to engage with the busy tennis calendar throughout the season by checking tournament draws and match results each week. 

Points are awarded for match results across the ATP, WTA and Grand Slam tournaments and fans looking to top the leaderboards will need to base their fantasy player selections on the latest tour knowledge for each upcoming week.

“We tennis fans are a bit nuts,” Vian said. “A three-hour football game would likely result in empty seats, but a tennis match that ends after three hours leaves us wanting more. 

“Tennis fans deserve a proper fantasy game, not just a copy and paste of fantasy formats from other sports. By letting fans build a player skill by skill, TFT mirrors the way we actually analyse tennis, which makes it the perfect game for armchair experts.”  

Added Toby; “We designed TFT to reward real insights about in-form players, surfaces, schedules and match-ups, rather than picking big names. 

“Beyond being a great way to engage with the tennis season throughout the

year, we are also excited about the possibility of bringing deeper player performance data to TFT down the line. 

“So, stay tuned and we hope to see you on the leaderboards!.”

The TFT concept is straightforward.

The game features separate leaderboards, with the ‘main tour’ leaderboard showing points from all tracked tournaments and the ‘Slam tour’ leaderboard only showing points from Grand Slam tournaments. 

The Slam tour provides fans with an opportunity to focus their efforts on the main events of the tennis calendar and is an entry point for tennis fans who may not already be following tennis across the full season. 

Fans can also create their own private tours, where they can compete against their family, friends or colleagues directly.
