You can compete in tournaments against professional players, practice in exhibition matches, and take part in a globe tour in which you can design and fully customize your star in SEGA’s arcade tennis series entry for the PSP. You can also play exhibition matches. You can perform all of the standard strokes, including topspin, lob, slice, smash, drop shot, and aftertouch, and there are a variety of court surfaces, each of which affects the way the ball bounces and the pace at which it travels. In doubles matches, there is also a capability that allows the user to order the computer-controlled partner.
You begin the global tour by constructing a home somewhere on the world map. After that, you journey to various locations worldwide to hone your reputation. The tour calendar has all of the important events written down in it. You can upgrade your talents, purchase new equipment, partner contracts, stage contracts, and even buy stage contracts. The training consists of various minigames, each of which targets a specific skill and aims to enhance it. Footwork, strokes, volleys, and serves are just some of the skills that may be improved with these entertaining games involving tanks, pins, aliens, and discs.
In addition to the games that serve as training, there are more games involving balls, such as Blockbuster, Fruit Dash, Blocker, and Balloon Smash, in which you use your tennis talents in various settings. There are a total of fourteen licensed tennis stars available; seven of them are female, and seven of them are male. Single-mixed matches are not allowed, but mixed doubles matches are available. Within the context of the game’s multiplayer mode, the Ad Hoc protocol allows for simultaneous participation from up to four players.
