So, as a thing to keep my interest in the next few weeks, when I will be limited to what I can do (have no transporation), I picked up Plaay.com's "Let's PLAAY" Tennis, which comes with a set of 108 stars of the 2000's, as well as an additional 2022 stars set:

To try it out I will be using the 108 card stars of the 2000s set: I will be playing through a tournamentusing the cards.. now, that's a lot of matches, so what will be doing is using the tournament quickplay mode to get us down to the round of 16, use the "For the Set" method to determine the Round of 16 and round of 8 players, and then probably point by point for the semis and the finals.

First thing we have to do is to determine the top 4 seeds:

They are:

Rafael Nadal
Novak Djokovic
Rodger Federer
Andre Agassi

The top three were all listed as 1-A, while Agassi and a couple others were listed as 2-A's (Andy Murray amongst them) I randomly decided to make Agassi the last top seed, because, well, Image is everything ( I may have missed the last 1-A in the stack, if so, there will be a surprise!)

The other 104 cards get divided randomly into four stacks, in which the top four seeds are distributed and shuffled: Each stack is then divided into 2 substacks (so you'll have 8 sub stacks, 4 of them will have a top seed in there.)

We then roll dice to see who advances through the early rounds (top seeds generally auto advance, but it's not unusual for them to go through)

Players are rated on abilities (Forehand/backhand, volley, serve, etcetera) as well as their preferred surface (top players are good on all three, others may be clay, grass, hard court specialists, or two of three. We're playing on a hard court here.
