What did Fantasy Tennis League do right that it won a million fantasy sports players? Find out.
Fantasy Tennis League, launched ahead of Australian Open 2017, came and conquered fantasy tennis silencing doubts around individual sports fantasy games. Launched by Tennis Australia, FTL is a prime example of individual sport diving into the world of fantasy sports. This fantasy tennis website allows players to create teams on season-long ATP and WTA tours and engage fans for a complete season. This website has close to a million fantasy sports players who are actively playing and enjoying their beloved sport 24X7.
The success of FTL has forced sports associations and leagues for individual sports to take a closer look at the possibility of fantasy games in their domain. There’s a popular myth that individual sports do not make up for good fantasy gaming experience. The argument is that there is no concept of team, league and hence no competition. But fantasy sports built around individual sports such as golf and tennis have proven that individual sports can be equally exciting and intriguing in the world of fantasy sports.
Individual sports today have the potential in the field of fantasy sports for the simple reason that they can offer something extremely different to an audience that’s crazy for tennis. As American artist Andy Warhol put it: “You have to do stuff that average people don't understand because those are the only good things”. Startups or enterprises wanting to tap business opportunities in the field of individual fantasy games can stand out in less time.
