Never having played a Tennis game before, and up to now never intending to try I was massively surprised by the addictiveness and playability of the game. The start with the game is extremely challenging followed soon by a rewarding feeling when you master your first match. Then you try a tournament and loose all the pride again in the final!
The World Tour is the only disappointment in the game, the minigames used to level up your players although quaint, become quickly annoying. Especially with some like the Danger Flag and other games having extremely strict collision detection forcing a John McEnroe argument with your PSP. The result is many hours of play just playing minigames over and over before you can qualify for even basic tournaments. This problem is amplified by the fact that you need to level up both your male and female character almost simultaneously.
This said, don't let that put you off buying the game. It has excellent pick-up and play with the Quick Matches and a challenging Tournament mode. Just avoid the World Tours unless you have a lot of time and patience.
Finally, the review can't be complete without mentioning the multiplayer -- plain and simple it is fantastic. Nothing special, or innovative, just a tennis match over Wi-Fi but everyone knows that so much pleasure can be derived from a victory over a y opponent.
i've had this game since it's europe debut and i must say it's very fun, but i cant seem to grasp the world tour mode. how do i get to rank 2, 3, 4 etc? all the tournies i see every week are either doubles or high rank. which i cant enter either of them.

A lot of time playing mini games and entering all the tournies that you can buy from the shops (i've nearly got both man and woman to rank No 1) and my fingers are still hurting, they've had a lot of work on this game.
