Matches focus on core tennis mechanics such as serving, volleys, lobs, and smashes.

What players say

A snappy, arcade-style tennis game (Virtua Tennis 2) with tight, satisfying controls that shines in four-player sessions. The PS2 port is solid but a noticeable step down from the acclaimed Dreamcast original, with shaky doubles AI.
