Court Kings Tennis

Serve, run, hit. Court Kings is a 3D tennis simulation with a stadium full of fans, articulated players and a ball that flies with gravity, drag and spin. Tap to toss, strike at the top for a perfect serve, then charge Topspin, Slice, Drive or Drop shots and aim with the stick. Clean contact in front of the body brings pace and precision; too early or too late scatters, risks the net or the lines.

Twelve fictional clubs at real locations, all open from the start: clay in Monte Carlo, Gstaad, Paris and Rio, grass in London, Lisbon and Stockholm, hard courts in Melbourne, Dubai, Tokyo, New York and Singapore – each with its own panorama, light and court colours. Clay bounces high and slows the ball, grass is fast and low, hard court sits in between.

Play singles or doubles with a computer partner against three opponent styles: the baseline strategist, the serve-and-volleyer and the counterpuncher. Short format (one set to three games) or full match (two sets to six), with deuce, advantage and tiebreaks. Three cameras – player view, TV camera, bird's-eye – and an optional picture-in-picture window.

Career: four tournaments from the Riviera Futures to the Crown Championship, each with quarterfinal, semifinal and final, ranking points, titles, energy, training (technique, power, fitness), weeks and seasons, plus a coach who reads your match statistics. Free practice: ten points without ranking pressure.

Won matches post a match rating to the club leaderboard, finished tournaments post your ranking points to the career board. Keyboard, mouse swipes and touch controls with a stick and four shot buttons.
