Until recently, if you wanted to play fantasy tennis you could only find games for the Grand Slams. Not so anymore. The ATP recently launched a year-round game that allows you to substitute your entire team for each season: clay, grass and hard court.

There are a lot of talented players out there who would be a good fantasy pick. Should you go with Andre Agassi or Juan Carlos Ferrero? What about the Williams sisters? So here are some recommendations -- including bargain picks.

Although the only fantasy tennis on the women's side so far is Anna Kournikova's commercial in baby doll PJ's, it would ruin the fun to leave them out so an imaginary team has been created. The men's values and restrictions were applied to the women based on their rank at the end of 2001.

Managers have $15 million to buy players -- with price corresponding to 2001 year-end rank. Only two players may be selected from the top 5 and a max of three from Nos. 5-10. You are required to choose at least one player in the other categories, which go from No. 11-25, No. 26-50, No. 50-100. Points are based on the rank your player attains by advancing through the rounds of tournaments.

Note that the rankings mentioned here are for year-end 2001 unless otherwise specified.

Normally No. 2 Gustavo Kuerten (whose game value is $2.9 million) would be a no-brainer for this season, but with his return from surgery not scheduled until the French Open the clay god is a weak pick.

Andre Agassi ($2.75 million) has won the French Open in the past and seems hungry for it this year, so he would be a solid choice. However, he's not playing as much these days and you'll likely get more value for your money in a younger player. Pete Sampras ($2.15 million) does not have a French title among his 13 Grand Slams and isn't likely to add it.

The tough choice with the women is the Williams sisters -- especially for the clay season. If they do show up to enough tournaments to help you, this is a surface both have struggled on -- neither has gotten past the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. No recommendation here -- this is one area where they still have something to prove.

Men   Fantasy Value No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt ($3 million): This guy is just on. He came back from his bout with chicken pox and won back-to-back tournaments and then he reached the semifinals in Key Biscayne. No. 5 Juan Carlos Ferrero ($2.5 million): He dominated on clay last year winning three of his four titles including the Tennis Masters Series in Rome on the surface. Plus he reached the semifinals at the French Open. There is some concern about the stress fracture he suffered in Key Biscayne but the ATP says he's scheduled to return in time for the Tennis Masters Series in Monte Carlo. No. 6 Sebastien Grosjean ($2.5 million): He is another French Open semifinalist plus he reached the semis in Monte Carlo. He's also strong on hard courts, so unless he gets injured there'll be no need for a substitution later. No. 8 Tim Henman ($2.3 million): In case you haven't noticed, Henman is having a good year. Actually, it began at the Tennis Masters Series in Montreal last year when he took on Larry Stefanki as coach. Henman is a gamer. When everyone else was complaining about the sandy, windy conditions at Indian Wells, Henman adjusted and reached the final. Henman's had less success on clay but the other viable choice here would be No. 7 Tommy Haas ($2.3 million). Haas was unimpressive on hard court in Scottsdale, although his play was more like that of a clay-courter. In 2001, Haas didn't find his rhythm until late in the year, so he's a better choice for later in the season. No. 13 Andy Roddick ($1.8 million): Roddick reached the third round at the French Open in his first appearance there and won two of his three titles last year on clay with a 12-1 record. Plus he did consistently well at the other tournaments. Provided his enthusiasm in diving for balls doesn't leave him injured, he's a good choice for the year. No. 22 Albert Portas ($1.4 million): A solid record on clay last year including winning the Tennis Masters Series in Hamburg. No. 14 Guillermo Canas ($1.75 million), a 24-year-old from Argentina, won 75 percent of his matches on clay last year and reached the fourth round at the French Open. Canas was sacrificed here to get someone in each category and meet the cap requirement. You can replace Roddick with Canas and have a good team. In this category, you could also choose No. 12 Roger Federer ($1.9 million) or No. 23 Jan Michael Gambill ($1.4 million) who also are excellent choices on grass or hard courts. Gambill's having a strong year -- he reached three semifinals back-to-back. Roger Federer took down Lleyton Hewitt to reach the final in Key Biscayne. But both have never shined on clay. No. 30 Tommy Robredo ($1.1 million): Robredo reached the fourth round in his first year at the French Open. He finished last season as the second youngest player (behind Roddick) in the top 30. He won his first ATP title in Sopot on clay. James Blake ($350,000): At Newport last year, Blake indicated that he was still struggling with adapting to life in the pros vs. college. But he seems to have found the formula -- citing a strengthened backhand -- as he went from No. 179 in March 2001 to No. 49 in 2002 in the entry ranking system. Good value for the money: Todd Martin's ($450,000) year-end ranking isn't a good indicator of where he is now making him a bargain in this scenario. Martin says he's lost some weight and he's in better shape. It's starting to show. He reached the semifinals at Indian Wells before falling to Tim Henman. Mark Philippoussis ($400,000) is another player whose year-end ranking isn't a good indicator of his potential. Out with an injury for most of 2001, Philippoussis came back with a strong showing at the end of the year.

Women   Fantasy Value No. 2 Jennifer Capriati ($2.9 million): The odds are against Capriati repeating her one-two punch of the Aussie and French Opens, however, she did well on clay leading into the French last season and should go far at Roland Garros this year. No. 5 Kim Clijsters ($2.5 million): She just seems to be getting better, and that's after she was the runner-up at the French Open last year. She won three titles last year. She reached the semifinals at the the Australian Open this year. It's only a matter of time before she follows boyfriend Hewitt with a Grand Slam title. No. 7 Justine Henin ($2.3 million): Henin failed to reach the French Open final after she was defeated by countrywoman Clijsters. She went on to reach her first Grand Slam final at Wimbledon. Like Clijsters, it is only a matter of time before she takes home a Grand Slam. No. 9 Amelie Mauresmo ($2.15 million): She had an absolutely outstanding year on clay in 2001 as she reached five finals and took four titles. Then she disappointed her country and herself with a first-round exit at the French Open. Expect her to have something to prove at this year's Roland Garros. No. 10 Monica Seles ($2 million): A former French Open champion, Seles is a veteran who plays consistently good tennis. She missed Roland Garros last year with an injury but in 1999 and 2000 she reached the semifinals and quarterfinals, respectively. No. 12 Meghann Shaughnessy (1.9 million): Shaugnessy had the best year of her career last season. This year, she reached the final in Sydney before falling to Martina Hingis. She reached the fourth round of the French Open for the first time in 2001. Two veteran clay-court players are also in this category. No. 17 Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario ($1.6 million) has won the French Open three times in her career. She was in the semifinals as recently as 2000, but last year she didn't get out of the second round. She struggled for almost two years without a title until winning at Porto in 2001. No. 23 Angeles Montolio ($1.4 million) thrives on the clay. She took the titles at Estoril and Bol last year but was unable to get past the second round of the French Open. No. 38 Daniela Hantuchova ($950,000): Hantuchova upset Martina Hingis ($2.75 million) at Indian Wells to win her first WTA title. Although success at one tournament usually isn't enough to put someone on the team, Hantuchova has been quietly rising through the ranks. She's worth the risk and really a bargain here. No. 88 Anna Smashnova ($300,000): She's another player whose year-end rank in 2001 does not reflect her potential. She's having the best year of her career taking titles in Auckland and Canberra. Good value for the money: Because her injury last year kept her out of tournaments, Anna Kournikova ($350,000) is actually a bargain because her ranking is much lower than her potential. And despite the highly publicized lack of titles, Kournikova is a frequent semifinalist in tournaments.
