Fantasy Tennis League season wrap

As they say in showbiz, that’s a wrap!

The inaugural season of Fantasy Tennis League is in the books and what a fun year it was. With registrations set to increase and a bevvy of premium players back in action next year, the competition is only going to get stronger and the wheat will well and truly be separated from the chaff.

For those chomping at the bit for more Fantasy Tennis, the competition will return in 2018 bigger and better than ever. Entries will open in early December and again, we’re looking to send the winner to the 2019 Australian Open men’s final!

Alright, it's time to post your year-end #FantasyTennis rank! Here's me…
