Win to advance; a loss ends your run. The draw decides your opponent in every round. Other matches are simulated as your round completes, so you can follow who is still in contention.

The eight highest-rated entrants receive seeds. The leading seeds start in separate parts of the bracket; unseeded places are shuffled. A new tournament can give you a different path.

Make the draw your own.

  1. Choose your player.Use a fictional roster character with its own playing strengths, or create a player with your name, outfit, and custom forehand, backhand, serve, and footwork ratings. Your custom player takes one place in the 32-player field.
  2. Set the challenge.Choose Easy, Club, Ace, PRO, or LEGEND for the computer opposition. LEGEND is the toughest challenge. Character ratings and opponent difficulty are separate choices.
  3. Pick one of three tournament courts.Play on New York’s hard court, London’s grass, or Paris’s clay. Your selected court stays with you through the tournament.
  4. Follow the bracket.Start your opening match, then return to the tournament draw after the result. Keep winning to reach the final and lift the trophy.

Three surfaces. Your choice.

HARD COURT

New York

Take the tournament onto the blue hard court for a night session.

GRASS COURT

London

Play your run on grass, with the green court and centre-court setting.

CLAY COURT

Paris

Choose the clay court and its warm evening-session atmosphere.

The desert, beach, and Moon destination courts are available in Single Game and Practice. Tournament mode uses the three classic courts above.

Every round is a full match.

Win 3 games with a two-game lead. Points use 0, 15, 30, 40, deuce, and advantage. At 3–3 in games, play a tiebreak to 7 points with a two-point lead; its winner takes the match 4–3.

A title takes five match wins. There are no extra sets in the final: the same short match format applies in every round.

Need a refresher before the first serve? Read the keyboard and touch controls, or warm up with smash practice.
