For a long time, we had close to zero Tennis games – which is a pity given how we had both Virtual Tennis and top spin serving up aces. Then in 2018 we suddenly had two big ones; Tennis World Tour – one of the worst sports games I’ve had the misfortune of playing - and AO Tennis, which also wasn’t very good.

The times they are a changing. Tennis, of all sports, is feeling pressure now that esports has become a medal sport at the 2022 Asian Games, the biggest multi-sports event outside of the Olympics.
