🏆 Fantasy League Director’s Note

Sinner’s triumph rewarded safe picks, while Zverev backers fell short in their bid for a Channel Slam (French Open + Wimbledon). With Noskova crowned women’s champion and Sinner defending his title, fantasy fortunes have swung dramatically — especially for the 10 teams who backed Noskova earlier.
