New Feature (BETA): Tennis DFS Simulation

Welcome to the Optimal Tennis Tool for DraftKings!

We can now use our Tennis DFS projections and bookmaker odds to simulate the outcome of Tennis DFS events. In this case, we’re looking at the French Open for Thursday June 1. Below, you will find a tool that estimates how often a player might appear in the winning roster. Side by side, you can find an early estimate of DFS ownership for comparison purposes. The goal is to provide a simple metric to aid in your DFS decision making.

Tennis DFS Optimal % Tool – How it Works

We use the odds of each matchup to run trials of a simulated “slate,” selecting the winner of each match based on the wisdom of the betting markets.

From there, each player receives a projected range of outcomes based on their result. We select a realistic value for both the winner and the loser in each trial, and repeat as necessary to form a data set from which to perform evaluations. That data gets sent to the optimizer, and we calculate the optimal roster percentage. Below, you’ll the find the results for today’s action.

BETA mode, and subject to additional improvements/changes as we seek to deliver the most realistic and accurate estimation possible.
