How to Play
The Serve
At the service, you see a cursor moving across the court. This is the spot where the ball will touch the ground if you release the button immediately. For a good serve, aim this cursor at the correct part of the court where you want the ball to land.
The cursor turns red if you hit a side spin serve.
Serve Controls
•
A/Y: fake top spin serve
•
B: easy serve—not very strong, but safe
•
X: stronger, high speed serve—but very risky
•
R: side spin right serve
•
L: side spin left serve
Easy Control Serve
The easiest serve is the B button serve. Press the B button and hold it pressed until the computer moves the cursor and strikes the ball.
To serve using the other buttons, press and hold the button while controlling the direction of the serve with the control pad. The computer will strike the ball.
Full Control Serve
The easiest serve is the B button serve. Press the B button and wait until the computer moves the cursor and strikes the ball.
The player has complete control over all other serves. You must move the cursor to the right place and release the button at the right time to complete a successful serve.
Striking the Ball
When you press a button, your player swings his racquet back. He does not strike immediately! He strikes when you RELEASE the button.
While you are pressing the button, you can control the results of your shot in several ways:
•
Control the DIRECTION of the ball using the control pad.
•
Control the LENGTH of the shot by using UP and DOWN on the control pad.
The longer the elapsed time, the better the shot. For example, a very quick shot will result in a very sharp angle. The success of a shot also depends on the distance between player and ball.
Tips Against the Pros
•
Train by competing in EXHIBITION MODE against PROFESSIONALS.
•
Learn which are your opponent's weakest shots and try to play to them.
•
Rush the net whenever possible. But be sure to prepare for it—a fast long shot is good preparation and may give you enough time to move up.
•
CONCENTRATE! Especially during semi-finals and finals.

human player vs. computer opponent

To change the player selected, press a button on the control pad when the text above the player you want to choose is highlighted.
Control Mode and Skill Level
Select EASY or FULL control. After you have chosen your player(s), you will be asked to choose EASY or FULL playing mode for your human player(s) and the skill level AMATEUR, INTERMEDIATE, or PROFESSIONAL for your computer opponents. Continue for each player.
The Easy Mode
If you choose the easy mode in the SELECT PLAYER Menu or START TOUR, your player's movements on the court are controlled by the computer, so that you can concentrate solely on your strokes and hitting the ball.
The serve is much easier in EASY mode: you only need to hit the correct area of the court with the cursor after you press the button. It does not matter when you release the button. When you have made all the choices above, press start to begin the match.
Start Tour
Select this option to begin a new tournament year. You play as Jimmy Connors, ace tennis pro. Each month you choose and play a single tournament from the list of one to three tournaments available.
