Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a sports simulation game where players compete in various tennis tournaments. You'll participate in prestigious events like the Tournoi de Paris, Wimbledon, and the US Open, each featuring unique court surfaces and settings. The game challenges you to master different playing styles across clay, grass, and hard courts.
Story

The Tournoi de Paris takes place at the Stade International de Paris in the suburbs of Paris. This heated tournament is the only one played on a clay court, and is held each May.

Wimbledon (Grass Court)
This tournament, dubbed the "Lawn Tennis Championship," is held each year in the latter part of June. Great care is given to the lawn on center court, a grass surface used only two weeks out of each year.
US Open (Hard Court)
The US Open is held in New York in the latter part of August, which happens to be the hottest part of summer. The finals begin at sundown in Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Tips & Maps
serve
To serve, toss the ball with the Button or O Button, then press the same button again to hit it. Use O for a strong serve and for a weak serve.
topspin
Press the O Button to hit a topspin shot. This shot spins in the direction of travel, rebounding faster and rising higher than a flat shot.
slice
Press the Button to hit a slice shot. This shot places a reverse spin on the ball, lacks speed compared to a topspin, and has a low rebound.
lob
Press the A Button to hit a high-angled lob shot, used to place the ball behind an opponent.
topspin lob
Press ↑ on the Directional Button or Left Analog Stick while simultaneously pressing the Button to lob the ball with a forward spin at a faster speed than a regular lob.
drop shot
Press ↓ on the Directional Button or Left Analog Stick while simultaneously pressing the Button to drop the ball into an opponent's court, close to the net.
point 1: timing on returns
Achieving perfect timing on a return will display "NICE!" on-screen, causing the ball to travel faster than normal.
smash
When an opponent hits a weak lob, move your player to the Smash Point indicated on-screen and press either the Button or the Button to perform a smash.
point 2: special shots
If an opponent delivers a bad return, you can hit a powerful flat (hard) shot by merely hitting the ball, but avoid using the Button to prevent it from becoming a lob. With correct timing, a topspin lob or drop shot can become a super version, marked by a diamond trail, which are very useful.
