Contests.

A salary-cap contest is a head-to-the-field game where you build a roster of ATP and WTA pros under a fixed budget. Each player has a fantasy price derived from recent form, ranking, and tournament-specific surface fit. Your players score fantasy points based on real match results, as well as bonus points for upsets, aces, and breaks of serve.

Prices are calculated per tournament from recent results, surface history, tournament identity, and ranking. A clay specialist costs more for Roland Garros than for Wimbledon, and injured players price low until they return. Prices update as tournaments approach.

Active contests let you swap players in your lineup between tournaments in a multi-event contest. Set-and-forget contests lock your lineup at the start of the contest with no swaps. Within any single tournament, rosters are always locked once play begins.

Yes. All contests on The Drop Shot are free to enter. There are no entry fees and no cash prizes — contests run for league standings and bragging rights.

Contests run across the ATP and WTA tours — Grand Slams, Masters, and ATP/WTA 500s and 250s — as single-tournament or multi-tournament events. Live scores, draws, and results update in real time.

Your players earn fantasy points for advancing through the bracket, with bonus points for upsets, aces, and breaks of serve. Each contest carries its own scoring table, so the same player can be worth a different amount across contests.

Every match carries a pre-match prediction and live win probability that updates point-by-point during play — a free account unlocks the model's pick and the live probability. We grade every prediction against the sportsbook closing line and publish the results by surface, tour, and round at /predictions/accuracy.
