Tennis (games) need saving

A decade ago, tennis games were popular with the likes of Top Spin 4 being extremely well received. Since then the sub-genre has declined, leaving fans of the sport desperate for things to improve. Although it’s too early to say for sure, there is a chance that Matchpoint – Tennis Championships could fill that void.

It has the backing of a relatively large publisher with Kalypso Media owning some strong franchises like Tropico and Railway Empire. Hopefully, this marks the beginning of a change of fate for the future of tennis games.
