DESCRIPTION

The follow-up to Sega Sports' Virtua Tennis, Tennis 2K2 makes a variety of refinements to the original, with the most notable being the addition of female players. In all, there are now eight men and eight women to choose from, with top professional players like Venus and Serena Williams, Patrick Rafter, Tommy Haas, Lindsay Davenport, and Monica Seles.

Tournament and Exhibition modes are available for quick, short-term play, but the heart of the game is the World Tour mode, in which you create male and female competitors and begin your quest to make each the number one ranked player in the world. A variety of mini-games serve as training grounds for improving your footwork, serves, returns and other skills. By winning singles, doubles and mixed doubles matches, you increase your rank and earn money that can be used to buy clothes, doubles partners and additional venues.

The players you create can also be used in the Tournament and Exhibition modes to compete against the CPU or up to three other human players. Matches take place on a variety of clay, grass and indoor courts located in locations around the world, including Australia, USA, France, England and Japan. ~ Skyler Miller, All Game Guide
