When serving, Left Click to toss the ball into the air, and then click + hold + swipe in the direction you want to swing your racket & hit the tennis ball. When the ball is in general play, your player automatically runs toward the ball. Click + hold + swipe your mouse to direct your shot back over the net.
Timing is everything! You really have to work hard at getting your swing timing right; if you click & swipe too late, the ball might fly past you. Likewise, if you click & swipe too early, you might miss-hit the ball. Also concentrate hard on keeping down your unforced error count.
Each match-up is a one-set contest. The rules are the same as in real life tennis. The first player to reach 6+ games with a winning margin of at least two games is declared the winner (e.g. 6-4, 6-3, 7-5 etc). However, if the game score reaches 6-6, there is a tie-break, in which case the first player to reach 7 points (with a two point clear winning margin) in the tiebreaker is the winner of that set.
