Matchpoint – Tennis Championships May Have a Winning Formula

There’s something about tennis games that can genuinely draw you into a whole new atmosphere and level of entertainment. To date, one of the best tennis games that come to mind is EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis 2 dating back to February 2012. There have been some great experiences as of late with Tennis World Tour 2, testing you on and off the court, affecting sponsorships and more. But as you look at Matchpoint – Tennis Championships, there’s something unique that just might take lead; and I’m intrigued.

Set for Spring 2022, Matchpoint – Tennis Championships looks to deliver a detailed, authentic experience that will also feature crossplay for a true challenge between platforms. Though not a gameplay trailer, we visually see the potential in graphics, animations, physics that would make any tennis enthusiast smile at the sense of realism.

Matchpoint intends to include an extensive career mode, including a rivalry system between 16 well-known tennis stars at launch, hinting at more to come. Some names include:

“From the current number two in the world ranking list Danill Medvedev – to other top ten world ranked players such as Garbine Muguruza, Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud and Hubert Hurkaczs. More renowned players will also be playable, with Nick Kyrgios, Benoit Paire, Heather Watson, Hugo Gaston, Madison Keys, Victoria Azarenka, Carlos Alcaraz, and Pablo Carreno Busta.”
