## What is Tennis Superstar?

Can you become the best tennis player in the world?

Tennis Superstar focuses on character development rather than quick reflexes.  You start the game as at 14 year old tennis prodigy and play until you retire.  What happens in-between is up to you!  

As you gain experience, you can upgrade abilities that suit your style.  Perhaps you focus on serve and volley or become a baseline master?  Do you use powerful ground strokes to blast your opponent off the court or perhaps use stamina and endurance to break them down over the course of a match?

One thing is for sure, you’ll need help.  Hire trainers, coaches and various other people to help you become more than just a player.  Invest in property or businesses to make extra cash or get a stylist to make you more marketable opening the door to various endorsement deals.

Can you become the Tennis Superstar you know you can be? Prove it…

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-08-07, version 1.0.11*

I love this game, it is really fun to play on a flight or on a road trip. But there are some things they could improve. First off all, to remove the paywall in between seasons. It is really annoying to wait 4 hours before starting the next season. And second of all, there is this glitch where i cant play any tournaments because it says the tournament is the next day and i cant play any of the tournaments i sign up for. But other than those 2 mistakes, the game is great.

### 3/5 — Okay but….

*2026-01-11, version 1.0.11*

This game is interesting to play but why can’t we actually play then matches instead of just watching the ticker? Also, why doesn’t your recovery go to 100 percent after a season or even a few weeks? It would be nice if the coaches, trainers, ect, would give advise in the messages.
