The briefing

About this game

International Tennis Open is a 1993 tennis simulation from Infogrames and Philips Interactive Media. Rather than focusing on arcade-style action, it emphasizes simulation and presentation, including thousands of mini-videos and voiceovers.

Gameplay

Players choose one of nine nations to represent and compete in singles matches. There is no doubles mode. Practice, quick match, and tournament options are available, with quick match allowing selection of one of four fictional opponents and a concrete, grass, or clay court. Tournament play begins at the quarter-final stage after selecting a host city from around the world.

Presentation

Matches are viewed from a third-person perspective and use 2D rotoscoped-animated sprites.
