Also known as Adidas Championship Tie Break, it’s inspired by the arcade game Passing Shot (1988), viewed from above, featuring tiny players and a ball that grows depending on its altitude. Here, you don’t control your player’s positioning, just their shots, but naturally, those shots are more accurate and varied. Add the option to choose the type of surface, the racket’s weight, and plenty of ball effects. All this makes for a game that’s tricky to handle but fast-paced and original.
I quickly got bored, though, but that’s the case with all tennis games.
