How tennis player props work on Payday Fantasy: when a pick is action, how aces, games and break points are counted, and what happens if a player retires or is defaulted.
Payday Fantasy · Product
The short answer: a tennis prop on Payday is a MORE or LESS pick on one player's stat line, like aces or total games won. A pick becomes action once the player plays one official point. If a player retires mid-match, picks settle on what actually happened up to that point.
Tennis picks go into the same entries as the rest of the board. Pick 2 to 10 players from at least two different teams, mix in other sports if you want, and play it as MAX (every pick must hit) or FLEX (you can miss one or two and still get paid).
A tennis pick becomes action once the player plays one official point. If the player never takes the court, the pick is voided as Did Not Play (DNP).
| Stat | What counts |
|---|---|
| Aces | Serves that land in the service box and aren't returned. |
| Double Faults | Points lost when both the first and second serve miss. |
| Aces + Double Faults | The two added together. |
| Winners | Shots that land in and can't be returned. |
| Unforced Errors | Errors made without real pressure from the opponent. |
| Break Points Won | Break-point chances the player converts. |
| Total Games Won | All games won, on serve and return. |
| Total Games Played | All completed games in the match. |
| Total Sets Won | Sets won. |
| Total Sets Played | Completed sets. A match tiebreak counts as one set. |
| Total Points Won | Points won by the time the match is graded. |
| Tiebreak Points Won | Points won in any tiebreak game. |
Once a point has been played, a retirement doesn't void the match. Everything settles on what actually happened:
A default is when officials disqualify a player during the match, for example for a code violation. It has its own rule and isn't treated as a retirement. The player who wasn't defaulted is graded as the match winner, and every other prop on that match is voided. If the default comes before the first point, picks on that player are voided as DNP.
Matches can be paused for rain, darkness or heat, or moved to another court or indoors. None of that changes your pick: the match resumes from the exact point where it stopped, and every official stat still counts.

The pick settles on the official stats at the moment of retirement, and only completed games and sets count. The opponent is graded as the match winner.
If he never plays an official point, the pick is voided as DNP and your entry is rechecked with the picks that are left.
Yes. For Total Sets Played, a match tiebreak counts as one set.
No. After a default, only Match Winner is graded (the other player wins) and every other prop on the match is voided. After a retirement, props settle on the stats so far.
The match picks up where it left off and your pick stays active. Stats from both days count.
