Position the player to return the ball with either a forehand or a backhand shot. Press either fire button to swing the racket and hit the ball. Determine the direction of the shot by the relative ball/racket position when the ball is hit. SERVING Use your joystick to choose the direction of the ball relative to the serve area (left, center or right) and to determine the strength of your serve (up for fast, down for slow, center for normal). The probability of a successful serve is related to the directioin and strength you select as in a real tennis game. Press fire button while holding the joystick in the selected position. Serve again if your serve is out. RETURNING THE BALL Player movement controls the speed of the hit ball. Move player towards the net to hit the ball hard. Move player away from the net to lob the ball (possible only when your opponent is at the net) or to hit the ball softly (possible only when your opponent is in the back court). Move players side to side to hit the ball at normal speed. SCORING All the Tennis rules are observed. The players change sides after every odd game. A match is best of three out of five sets.
