I'm not a great game sports fan, except for NHL Hockey and Fifa Soccer, and ofcourse NBA, and I haven't got either yet for my pc, but somehow tennis on a computer have also fashinated me, but I have low hopes of this beeing a good game, so it might surprise me, maybe this is the game that makes me buy a second controller for my pc, to challenge my friends. But I was right, it's just as exciting as tennis ever will be, I give it a 2 out of 10.

It works out of the box with the rumble pad 2, it's a bit anoying that it's not possible to install the emulation files.
