Reception
The Nintendo 64 version received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. GameFan and Nintendo Power gave it average reviews, over three months before its U.S. release date. Jeffrey Adam Young of NextGen said, "For tennis purists, this game is a net loss – for gamers looking for a good time, the control issues make the game unacceptable." In Japan, where the PlayStation version was ported for release on December 2, 1999, Famitsu gave it a score of 22 out of 40.
