Roland Garros French Open is the only appearance of the franchise on the Game Boy Color. Less of a serious simulation of tennis than other versions, the handheld edition features cartoony 2D graphics and outrageous court locations.
The game includes eight different players and twelve different tournaments. All-in-all, it's possible to select five players and four tournaments from the start, with the others being unlocked by winning events. The starting tournaments are realistic grand slam events: Rolland Garros French Open , English Open (i.e. Wimbledon), US Championship, and Australian Cup, on clay, grass, or turf.
Winning these tournaments unlocks more unusual locations: from street and beach tournaments to far-out events in the Antarctic or on the moon. All events are single elimination, starting at the quarter finals. Matches follow original rules, and are seen from a standard perspective behind the controlled player. The controls allow for a variety of moves including backhand and forehand shots, volleys, and lobs.
