Match - Allows players to play a single game of tennis. Tournament - Allows players to play a series of games against various opponents. Training - Allows players to practice before playing a game. This involved playing against a ball throwing machine.

Reception

GamePro gave the CD-i version a perfect score, lauding the game for its "awesome, realistic, rotoscoped graphics and animation similar to, but more fluid than, Delphine Software's Flashback", its realistic sounds, and its challenging AI opponents.[2]
