Playing Tennis

International Tennis is played to full Lawn Tennis Association rules, and the game is scored and governed by this legislation. All referee and line judge decisions are final.

When your player has service, he can be moved to the correct position on the base line. Pressing Fire throws the ball into the air, and pressing Fire again makes the player begin his swing for the ball. If the ball is either too high or too low when the player begins his swing he will miss the ball.

During a game, the player can be positioned anywhere on his side of the court by movement of the joystick. Pressing Fire when the ball is in the near vicinity of the player executes a forehand or backhand shot according to the ball’s position in relation to the player.

The direction of the ball is determined by the timing of your swing and any spin that you choose to add to the ball. The following joystick positions affect ball movements:

Different Joystick and Fire button combinations will enable the player to develop their own repertoire of match winning shots. These shots will change according to the Hard, Lawn or Clay playing surface selected.

Current Match scores are registered on the scoreboard at the rear of the playing screen.
