The Anticipation

It’s the end of January 2020, and you know what that means… The Australian Open is upon us. Actually, it’s in full swing by the time you read this. Go Coco!!

Anyways, I have been itching to play a solid tennis game, and it seemed that Tennis World Tour: Roland Garros Edition was the latest and greatest. I saw the reviews when this game first came out more than a year ago, and while they did discourage me from purchasing the game then, I read that the game had seen considerable improvement over time. On top of that, I was heading up to the mountain for some quality family time in the snow and could really use a good game to help pass the nights.

First Impressions

Next thing I know, I am downloading the game off of the eShop for $29 + Roland Garros DLC, which added another $10. All in all, more than $40 for a game that’s been out a long time. I was skeptical before with the poor reviews, and now the heavy price tag made me even more on edge.

Download completes, and I go through all of the initial tutorials. Okay, graphics aren’t terrible, and the game seems alright…maybe I made a good purchase, and I can have a solid virtual tennis career here. Right?

The Reality Sets In

Let’s not get ahead of myself too much, though. After the tutorials are over, I go ahead and create a player for career mode. Eh…is this really all the customization options I am going to have?

Um…okay, I guess I will make this generic guy and begin my mission towards #1 in the world.

First match…seems alright…but…wait…

Crap! The game just crashed back to the system startup. Okay, surely that must have been a one-off, right?

Start the game again, and thankfully my generic dude is still there waiting for me…okay, no loss. I can accept that. I begin the first match and start to win fairly easily. The buttons are mapped just right, and the game seems to run pretty well for a Switch game. Nothing mind-blowing, but it seems to look and feel like I would expect.

Wait a minute…I just hit the button to swing…why didn’t you swing the racquet?

Nice rally, and finally I get the win!

Yay, I get to level up my guy. I am going to put all my points into Serve and Volley.

The Frustration

Let’s play the next match on the calendar…oh wait…crap…system crashed again…

Okay, now something is up. My Switch never crashes…something is not right here.

A few minutes pass by, and I am back into my career and well into my next match…

Are you fricken kidding me? Why is my guy not swinging when I clearly hit the button?

Okay…this might not be the typical review format, but I wanted to give you a somewhat play-by-play of my experience with this game on my Switch. This game caused me more annoyance than it was worth…especially after having just spent over $40. I did keep playing the game through the weekend, eventually making it through May. I had an agent, a trainer, and some perks for my player. The career mode was actually done pretty well. Nothing fancy, but it kept things interesting, and I enjoyed the choices and progression system.

The Final Verdict

Now to the bad. The game must have crashed on me almost 90% of the time whenever I chose to play in a tournament. For no reason…and I haven’t before or since had a game crash on my Switch. I can forgive that to some degree as I never lost progress and only lost a few minutes of time between the crash and getting back on the court. The thing I can’t forgive, and what finally made me delete the game on my system, was the game constantly missing my button inputs. Being in a nice long rally only to have the game decide not to swing when I clearly did, and thus make me lose the point, was beyond frustrating. This is just not acceptable, period.

I am not even going to give this game a score other than a hard STAY AWAY .

Hopefully, AO Tennis 2 will be better…I only wish it was out already here in the US.

Tennis World Tour: Roland-Garros Edition – Review

Playstation 4 nintendo switch xbox one nintendo switch pc playstation 4 xbox one, review by iscelerotingo.

Reviewed: 06/15/2020

Positive surprise

I bought this game thinking it would disappoint me.

I bought it in June / 2020 and, perhaps because updates are released, the game is at its best level.

The last tennis game I played was Virtua Tennis 4 (Ps Vita) and I can say that Tennis World Tour - Switch, in its gameplay, looks very similar. The same mistakes I made in the old game I also made in this one, so there are no gameplay problems. The mistakes I am referring to are the impatience to wait for the best moment to give the final blow and in some cases to press the button to push away, to the point of not finding the ball ... This is wonderful, the game is very realistic!

I say it is a good simulator and I can say that if you don't have a good sense of tennis you will be frustrated.

There are several possibilities to hit and you can also improve the player's skills with cards unlocked during career mode. Anyway, I say that the game is very good.

What disappointed me is that in the matches they don't use the standard tennis scoreboard, but the tiebrakes. Other than that, it's my favorite tennis game today. I haven't played the others that were released for the Nintendo Switch yet, but I'm not even ready at the moment, so I can't say if it's better or worse. But all I can say is that it is a very good game, well done and that satisfied me.

I must add that I am a Portable player. I've always had laptops and that's why I learned that a game to be good should be fun enough to satisfy you. Graphics, Frame Rate, Textures none of this matters to me, the most important is the fun factor and that is what this Tennis World Tour provided me with.

One of the justifications for writing this analysis was also to demystify people that the game is not good. Lie of those who only look for beautiful things instead of fun.

I may also be mistaken for purchasing the game in June / 2020, after several updates were released and that were probably enough to improve the game.

Final word, if you are looking for fun and a tennis simulator, you can buy that you will not regret.

Unfortunately I haven't found anyone to play online yet, perhaps because they are afraid to buy a game where everyone says it's bad ... better get your own proof.

Meet you in online matches ^ - ^

Tennis World Tour: Roland Garros Edition - Review

• Review for Tennis World Tour. Game for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the video game was released on 22/05/2018 The version for PC came out on 12/06/2018 The version for Nintendo Switch came out on 12/06/2018

Review for Tennis World Tour . Game for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the video game was released on 22/05/2018 The version for PC came out on 12/06/2018 The version for Nintendo Switch came out on 12/06/2018

The return to the field of Tennis World Tour marks the release of this reissue sponsored by Roland Garros e   called Tennis World Tour: Roland Garros Edition. Following criticism from the international press for its incomplete sale - even some have defined the release as in early access - Breakpoint, with the distribution of BigBen Interactive, has tried to adjust the shot and work to improve the title. Of course, we are probably still a long way from having a complete video game, however we must give credit to the development studio for continuing to support this chapter. Tennis World Tour , therefore, returns on the shelves of the videogame market with the renewed Roland Garros Edition .

Tennis World Tour Roland Garros Edition contains all the DLC released so far , including those of the Legends Edition which include André Agassi and John McEnroe as usable players. Also, as the name suggests, three fields with full Roland Garros licenses are added: Philippe-Chatrier, Suzanne-Lenglen and Simonne-Mathieu , which therefore bring the number of usable stages to 21. Added to this is the ability to play career mode at Roland Garros and at Mutua Madrid Open , with the central court “La Caja Magica”. The 31 players of the original roster are added Rafael Nadal, Kristina Mladenovic and Caroline Garcia . Of course, we are always talking about a fairly limited number of choices, however thanks to the motion capture technology all the movements of the tennis players are perfectly represented on every type of court. Different surfaces affect the style of play differently, this translates into a phenomenal Nadal on clay as well as an Isner master of serve & volley. In addition to the Roland Garros and Mutua Madrid Open licenses, the real strength of the production lies in the presence of numerous prestigious brands, including official equipment and historical sponsors: from Adidas to Nike, from Fila to Lacoste, passing through the sports line. by Roger Federer.

These little gems enrich what is perhaps the only interesting mode of the whole video game: the career. Finely crafted and with a decidedly profound character editor , the career mode is perhaps the only bulwark, together with the aforementioned licenses, which holds the title on the level of sufficiency. Once the digital alter ego is created, we will begin what is arguably one of the best accomplished careers within sports titles. Starting with the possibility of choosing from a lot of equipment, such as rackets, cuffs, caps or shoes, up to the style cards. These objects are used to paint our tennis player's stay on the court, which is defined on the basis of three archetypes: defense, attack and serve & volley. By making tournaments, winning games and unlocking the aforementioned cards, we will be able to tailor the playing style of the digital alter ego. Added to this is the possibility of hiring coaches or managers who in turn offer various bonuses, such as the increase of a statistic but rather the economic gain deriving from winning a tournament.

Each season is divided into different elements: you can decide to sign up for a tournament, train in a fundamental such as service, hire a new coach, sign a contract or rather take a little rest between one tournament and another. If this choice does not allow us to have stat bonuses or economic gain, it is still essential to avoid injuries, which could keep us away from the field for some time and therefore lose ranking positions.

Starting with the smallest tournaments, up to the Grand Slams, the goal is to reach the top of the ATP / WTA Ranking. A delineated and decidedly profound structure. The same cannot be said for the other modalities. In addition to the career, in fact, you can only choose between an exhibition or the creation of a tournament, an element absent initially. Also, the option to play a double has not yet been implemented. However, these should be added with new updates.

The gameplay does not differ much from what is the original version. With the buttons you can decide how to hit the ball between a flat shot, a slice, a lift, a lob, a damped or a volley. We are not talking about the realism of Top Spin 4, however it is at times decidedly funny when you are able to field different strategies. We noticed some goodies playing on clay courts: by making a slip, in fact, the sign of the slip remains on the pitch. At other times we have seen tennis players getting angry about a wrong play, letting go and sailing complaints like throwing the racket.

The AI ​​of the opponents is good even if sometimes fluctuating. We have noticed that very often the exchanges are long and tiring, unlike what happens in a real game where you try to get the point with a short exchange. Sometimes it is easy to fool the opponent by playing a long ball followed by a volley at the net, other times the opponent is able to find passers-by worthy of the best Roger Federer.

What revolves around the pitch, however, is not done with the same level of detail: both the referee and touch judges look fake. There is no possibility to request the hawk eye and the referee never gets off his chair to check the contested points. The sound is quite pleasant , if we limit ourselves to the sound of the ball and the verses of tennis players or tennis players. Instead, the commentary by Paolo Bertolucci, a well-known commentator of Sky Sport, is often asynchronous with what happens on the pitch.

Tennis World Tour: Roland Garros Edition marks a clear improvement over the basic version of the game, making it clear how much the software house is trying to support a title that at launch had received various criticisms, especially on the contents. The official license of Roland Garros, combined with the addition of new tennis players and some official fields, as well as the possibility of creating a tournament and a detailed career, make this re-edition reach a full pass, even without a roster not so long and at a poor level of detail. Tennis World Tour: Roland Garros Edition is not yet a complete video game to be promoted with flying colors, but rather a pleasant and fun simulation. If the software house continues to support the title as it is already doing, perhaps we could again have a tennis video game worthy of this noble sport.

Tennis World Tour Reviews

Finding enjoyment is hard when even a long, dramatic rally ends in a true unforced error committed by the gameplay

Read full review

Tennis World Tour has been quite ambitious, but the game feels unfinished. The gameplay is clumpsy, its graphics are terrible and the physics are awful. This tennis game aimed high but it failed.

Review in Spanish | Read full review

Tennis World Tour is simply a game not yet ready to go out on the market and it still really has too many gaps, flaws and uncertainties.

Review in Italian | Read full review

Despite being very improvable in all its aspects, Tennis World Tour is today the best realistic actual tennis game today. That doesn't mean that is better than Top Spin 4 (2011).

Tennis World Tour is a disappointment, plain and simple. It's one thing to not have key features at launch, but the absence of solid gameplay puts the final nail in the coffin. It's not only dull with its weak and monotonous presentation but frustrating as you watch your generic created character not swing at a ball they could easily hit across the court. There is something to some of the RPG elements within the career mode, but my progression or “gear” doesn't feel like it affects my character's ability to perform well. Tennis World Tour had the opportunity to become the video game series players go on to play a professional tennis simulation. Instead, we are given a joyless and empty experience.

Tennis World Tour is a mess of a game.

A well-done mode doesn't make up for the rest of the shoddy work. Couple everything with what may be the absolute worst commentating I've ever heard, and you can't even get too deep into your career mode before you want to smash the controller off of the wall.

Tennis World Tour might have been made with some ambitious goals in mind but unfortunately it doesn't take long to realize that not only the game's promises are not coming true, the game itself has virtually nothing going for it. Due to a botched delayed gameplay that leads to player's actions being horribly lagged and implemented differently, as well as a completely obsolete audiovisual environment and a glaring lack of content, there is no possible way to recommend Tennis World Tour to anyone, whether tennis fan or not.

Review in Portuguese | Read full review

Those hoping for an engaging, exciting Tennis game are bound to be disappointed. Tennis World Tennis World Tour is an unpolished, unfinished simulation that's impossible to recommend.

Claiming Top Spin's heritage probably put too much pressure on Breakpoint to begin with, even more so considering the studio's obvious resource limitations comparatively. Despite some wise compromises and interesting gameplay concepts, Tennis World Tour fails to develop, or even emulate its model's formula, due to an overall lack of expertise. A thorough imitation nevertheless, yet not sufficiently polished, deep, and authentic to fulfill realistic eSports ambitions.

Review in French | Read full review

On paper, Tennis World Tour was supposed to give us a spiritual successor to Top Spin Tennis. Unfortunately what we've ended up with is something that's far from perfect and whilst some tennis fans may still pick it up they should do so knowing that they're in for a frustrating ride. It's likely we'll never know why things ended up as they did here but without some serious post-release patching it's a hard game to recommend.

It goes without saying that Tennis World Tour is matched with Sea of Thieves as one of the worst video games I have played in 2018. The game is incomplete and should not have been released to the public at its current state. Even if the game was complete, the core gameplay feels sluggish and it's not very fun. If you had to choose between Tennis World Tour and AO International Tennis, the latter seems to be the better option for tennis gamers right now. Avoid Tennis World Tour until more patches are released.

Needless to spend too many words: Tennis World Tour is a total failure.

Tennis World Tour is a shockingly disappointing game.

Tennis World Tour simply doesn't deliver on the experience it wants to give us. While it offers some interesting and innovative gameplay aspects, it's either irksome or overly simple.

There isn't really a star cast of tennis players, the gameplay has some extremely weak elements and the overall feeling is one a lack of care. The developers didn't care enough to prep some variables or offer something greater than the basics. That is honestly the biggest crime Tennis World Tour has committed, but even at that, this game needs a whole lot of work.

The game feels rushed and a bit unfinished At its core, it's got some good mechanics, but there is not enough content on offer between the career and exhibition modes, and the fact that it's hard to find other players online. I think this could be a more polished product with some updates.

There is no point in paying 60 dollars for a Tennis game when so many better alternatives are already available. One of the worst games of 2018.

Review in Persian | Read full review

Despite the game's flaws, Tennis World Tour is an entertaining take on the world of tennis. Once the online play is live next week, and when the doubles mode is added, this will be a very robust option for fans of the sport to take on some quick exhibition matches or on the deep Career Mode on their path to number 1.

Even if you are a tennis fan, the Tennis World Tour is not easy to recommend because it is so difficult. Even if you deal with all of its problems, a lack of tennis players and a malfunctioning online section can frustrate you. Let's hope that a good tennis simulator is available to those interested in this global sport.

Rankings Watch: Navarro into Top 10; Siniakova back to No.1 in doubles

The final Grand Slam tournament of 2024 is in the books, with Aryna Sabalenka defeating Jessica Pegula in Saturday's US Open final for her third major trophy.

Pegula leads a slew of Americans who delivered career-best major performances on home soil and have been boosted in this week's edition of the PIF WTA Rankings. The 30-year-old Pegula enjoyed a spectacular North American hard-court summer, going 15-2 after winning Toronto and finishing as the runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincinnati and Flushing Meadows.

Pegula climbs three places from No.6 to return to her career high of No.3. She swaps places with Coco Gauff, who fell in the fourth round of the US Open as defending champion to Emma Navarro.

Navarro, who went on to reach her first Slam semifinal, notches a significant milestone as she climbs four places to make her Top 10 debut at No.8. The 23-year-old only cracked the Top 100 in May last year and started 2024 at No.32. She has compiled a 51-21 record this season (45-20 in WTA main draws), also including her first Hologic WTA Tour title in Hobart, a run to the Wimbledon quarterfinals and semifinal showings in Auckland, San Diego, Bad Homburg, Toronto and Monterrey.

The next generation of Americans also began to make noise in the early stages of the US Open. Ashlyn Krueger, 20, upset Mirra Andreeva to reach the third round of a Slam for the first time and rises eight places to a new career high of No.51. 

Iva Jovic, 16, the youngest player in the main draw, made good use of her wild card to notch her first career Top 50 win, over Magda Linette, before stretching Ekaterina Alexandrova to three sets in the second round. Jovic, who went on to reach the semifinals of the junior event, rockets up 99 places to No.290.

Julieta Pareja, 15, was the story of the qualifying tournament. The Californian teenager, playing just her sixth pro event, upset Kayla Day and Lucrezia Stefanini to reach the final round of the preliminaries. Pareja, who won her first pro title at the Ranco Santa Fe ITF W15 in June, soars 266 places to No.700. She is the second-highest ranked player born in 2009, following No.514-ranked Briton Hannah Klugman.

Sabalenka overcomes Pegula in US Open final, wins third Grand Slam title

Takeaways: how a year of growth led to sabalenka's us open championship, pif race to the wta finals: who will qualify next for riyadh, siniakova back on top.

Katerina Siniakova has returned to World No.1 in the doubles after reaching the US Open semifinals with Taylor Townsend. Siniakova was the champion at both Roland Garros (with Coco Gauff) and Wimbledon (with Townsend) this year, and this will be her fifth stint at the summit. Siniakova first ascended to No.1 in January 2019 and returns to the top spot for the first time since September of last year.

Second-week runs boost Badosa, Haddad Maia, Wang Yafan

Two first-time US Open quarterfinalists both return to the Top 20 this week. Beatriz Haddad Maia is up five to No.16, while Paula Badosa climbs nine to No.20.

For former No.10 Haddad Maia, the past three weeks marked a much-needed turnaround. A week before the US Open, her record was in the negative, at 20-21, and she had fallen out of the Top 20 in July. She responded by reaching her sixth career final in Cleveland, then defeating Anna Kalinskaya and Caroline Wozniacki to make the last eight in New York.

Badosa's second career major quarterfinal was the culmination of a spectacular summer resurgence for the former No.2, who was sidelined by a back injury for the second half of 2023. The Spaniard was ranked as low as No.140 in mid-May. Since then, she has put together a 24-7 record which also includes the Washington title, Cincinnati semifinals and fourth-round runs in Rome and Wimbledon.

China's Wang Yafan reached the fourth round of a major for the first time at the age of 30 via a third-round upset of Victoria Azarenka. Wang is up 18 places to No.62.

WTA 125 champions Rakhimova, Begu make moves

Two WTA 125 events took place last week as well, with Kamilla Rakhimova taking the title on hard courts in Guadalajara and Irina-Camelia Begu winning on clay in Montreux.

For Rakhimova, who had held triple set point on World No.1 Iga Swiatek in the first round of the US Open the week before, it was the biggest title of her career to date. The 23-year-old rises 15 places to No.89.

Next stops: Guadalajara and Monastir 👋 📍 #GDLOpenAKRONxSantander 🇲🇽 Top seeds: [1] Ostapenko, [2] Collins, [3] Azarenka, [4] Garcia 📍 #JasminOpenByLilas 🇹🇳 Top seeds: [1] Mertens, [2] Burel, [3] Parry, [4] Podoroska pic.twitter.com/2gTb5nQb1d — wta (@WTA) September 9, 2024

Former No.22 Begu was sidelined with an elbow injury for six months between last September and March this year. The 34-year-old Romanian has compiled a 23-10 record since returning, which also including a run to the Antalya WTA 125 final in March, the fourth round in Rome and the Palermo semifinals. Begu dropped just one set en route to the Montreux title and climbs 23 places to No.107.

Guadalajara runner-up Tatjana Maria rises 17 places to No.82 after reaching her second WTA 125 final of the season. Meanwhile, Montreux runner-up Petra Marcinko jumps 48 places to No.244. The 18-year-old former junior No.1 had struggled in 2024 after being sidelined between January and May and had won only six matches this year before Montreux. However, the Croatian is moving in the right direction again after reaching her first WTA 125 final.

Other notable rankings movements

Elina Avanesyan +1 to No.50: Though Avanesyan lost in the first round of the US Open to Haddad Maia, she nonetheless makes her Top 50 debut this week. The 21-year-old is the first Armenian to be ranked inside the Top 50.

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro +14 to No.60: For a second consecutive major, the 21-year-old Spaniard upset a seed en route to the third round. Bouzas Maneiro knocked out Katie Boulter in the second round and reaches a new career high.

Erika Andreeva  +7 to No.68: Andreeva, 20, hits a new career high after reaching the US Open second round, where she took Olympic gold medalist Zheng Qinwen to three sets.

Naomi Osaka +13 to No.75: Former World No.1 Osaka ousted Jelena Ostapenko in a marquee US Open first-round tilt before falling to eventual semifinalist Karolina Muchova.

Sara Errani +20 to No.76: The 37-year-old former No.5 made the US Open third round for the first time since 2015 and returns to her highest ranking since June 2023. 

Elena-Gabriela Ruse +22 to No.100: As a qualifier at the US Open, Ruse upset Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova to reach the third round of a Slam for the first time. There, she held match point on Badosa before losing one of the best matches of the tournament. The 26-year-old Romanian returns to the Top 100 for the first time since July 2022.

Jessika Ponchet +39 to No.104: The French qualifier also reached the third round of a major for the first time thanks to Elena Rybakina's withdrawal from the tournament. Ponchet, 26, reaches a new career high.

Maya Joint +24 to No.111: Last October, Joint was ranked No.1371. Since then, the 18-year-old Australian has been powering up the rankings at a steady pace. Joint qualified for her first tour-level main draw at the US Open, then upset Laura Siegemund to reach the second round -- her 54th match-win of the season. She's now at a new career high.

Varvara Lepchenko +40 to No.159: At the US Open, Lepchenko qualified and reached the second round of a Slam for the first time since Roland Garros 2021. The 38-year-old American is the oldest player in the Top 300.

Ena Shibahara +48 to No.169: Former doubles No.4 Shibahara's focus on singles in 2024 paid off at the US Open, where she qualified for her first Grand Slam main draw and defeated Daria Saville to make the second round. The Japanese 26-year-old, who was the last direct acceptance to the qualifying draw, started the year at No.548 and makes her Top 200 debut this week.

Gao Xinyu +53 to No.185: The Chinese 26-year-old reached the biggest final of her career to date at last week's Incheon ITF W100.

Sinja Kraus +43 to No.224: Kraus put together a 10-match winning streak on German clay with back-to-back titles at the Braunschweig ITF W35 and Meerbusch ITF W50 two weeks ago. The 22-year-old Austrian set her career high of No.151 in May 2023.

Lola Radivojevic +41 to No.232: The 19-year-old Serb has won 15 of her past 18 matches over the past month, backing up the Kursumlijska Banja ITF W75 title with finals at the Vrnjacka Banja ITF W35 and Meerbusch ITF W50, then a quarterfinal run at last week's Vienna ITF W75. Radivojevic reaches a new career high this week.

Tatiana Prozorova +71 to No.263: This time last year, Prozorova qualified for her first Grand Slam main draw at the US Open and broke the Top 200 a few weeks later. By this July, though, she had fallen to No.421. The 20-year-old captured her biggest career title last week at the Incheon ITF W100 to kickstart a resurgence.

Sada Nahimana +96 to No.308: The Burundian captured the biggest title of her career -- and of her country's tennis history -- at last week's Slobozia ITF W50. Nahimana, 23, reached her career high of No.244 in April 2023.

Usue Maitane Arconada +193 to No.641: Between February 2022 and March 2024, former No.130 Arconada played just one tournament because of an injury. On returning, the 25-year-old American won only three of her first 14 matches. But the former junior No.5 made it to the last round of US Open qualifying for a much-needed boost.

Ana Konjuh +387 to No.728: Former No.20 Konjuh is also on the comeback trail once again. The Croatian did not play between July 2023 and March 2024, and the US Open was just the fifth tournament of her season. Konjuh defeated Miriam Bulgaru and Julia Riera to reach the final round of qualifying.
