Shot Strength
You can hit the ball harder (faster) if you run to the ball fast enough to get ready for the shot. If you barely catch up to the ball and are not ready for the shot, you will not hit it hard.
The strength of the shot changes with the height you hit the ball at (shot point). It is difficult to hit the ball back hard if the ball has a low shot point, for example right after it bounced. The higher the shot point, the harder the shot becomes.
Smash
Wait for a high-trajectory ball to come down, and press */ button to hit a smash. Press to control the ball path in the same way as regular shots.
Drop Shot
Press after pressing button to aim at an area near the net. You can make a drop shot that falls near the net. It is effective when the opponent is at the baseline.

Auto-Save Game
This is an auto-save game. The game saves to the memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation® 2) when there is a change in the game. This happens frequently, for example, upon the completion of an action, such as completing a Mini-Game or Resting in World Tour Mode, or changing an Option in the Options Screen.
It is strongly recommended you do not remove the memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation® 2) once you've said "YES" to the auto-save feature. Doing so may result in data corruption on the memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation® 2) if the game is saving during this time.
GAME MODES
There are 4 modes to choose from. This section explains the contents and operations of the "TOURNAMENT," "EXHIBITION," "WORLD TOUR," and "OPTIONS" modes.
TOURNAMENT [for 1 to 4 players]
Try to win all 5 stages of singles matches and 3 stages of doubles matches. Press the START button of another controller during the game to jump into the game (P.9).

Select "TOURNAMENT" in the Menu Screen to display the "SINGLES / DOUBLES" menu.
2 Selecting a player
Select a player from the 16 featured male and female players. Select with the directional button, and confirm with button. To use a player created/trained in WORLD TOUR mode, select "World Tour" shown on the right.
"World Tour" can only be selected when a player was created in WORLD TOUR mode and the memory card is inserted. Since the non-1P controller can also use a customized player if a memory card with WORLD TOUR data is inserted into the memory card slot of that controller, you can play your customized player with or against your friend's.
