Onto the fantasy leaderboard and we have a new leader on day 2. ‘Back On Court!’ has moved up 3 places and into the lead but their lead is very slim. Just the 1 point separates them and a joint second place between ‘Fine Whines’ and ‘Sinful’. 4th place there is a tie between ‘Strung Out’ and ‘Deuce Ex Machina’. The last prize position sits ‘Hard Hitters’. There is a massive tie around 30th place at the moment so all to play for there and in 75th place, there is also a tie. The wooden spoon is currently being held by ‘Sweet Spot’ who have scored just 11 points after the first 2 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
