You compete individually in this option. You must battle your way through a number of tournaments in various parts of the world as a professional tennis player. Your goal is to win the World Championship. In this game it's not enough just to be a skillful tennis player - you must also manage your finances and your schedule well.
The Championship is spread out over 52 weeks (one year). A number of tournaments take place each week. The prize money, registration fees, and transportation costs vary, depending on the location of each tournament. Keep in mind how much money you have when deciding which tournament you'll compete in.
You start the Championship with $20,000. You'll receive cash and bonuses if you manage to achieve good results. It's possible to skip a week and proceed to the next week, in which case you must participate in the Nations Cup.
If you are ranked in the top 8 at the end of the season, you qualify to compete in the Master's Tournament. The winner of the Master's Tournament becomes the World Champion. Set your sights on becoming the Champion!
