Match Point
Recreate the excitement and tension of world class tennis in this dramatic simulation that puts YOU on the centre court - stretching to reach that service, volleying crisply from the net and trying to out-think and out-manoeuvre your powerful opponent. Viewed from the commentary box in realistic 3D, you can either challenge your computer opponent (or another human) in the Open Championship all the way to the finals, but don't expect it to be easy! Alternatively, you can sit forward on the edge of your seat and enjoy a stunning display of control and skill at the exhibition match. Suitable for joystick or keyboard control, you will need to master the subtlety of the drop shot and lob as well as the controlled power of the forehand drive and volley as part of your repertoire of shots - which should include a range of recovery strokes! However, sheer technical compentence is not enough. Strategy and tactics are vital aspects of tennis and you must develop your ball sense and awareness of court positioning or pay the price. Play an adventurous attacking game or stay back and wear down your opponent - all the choices are yours, but don't let your concentration slip. Once you have mastered the skills and strategy of MATCH POINT, all that remains is to take a deep breath and step out onto the Centre court in front of the waiting crowd...
