The visuals are, quite simply, amazing. Players move smoothly, and although the animation is lacking at times, you get the impression of a real tennis match. In fact, if it weren't for the status bars at the top of the screen, you could mistake this for the real thing from across the room. Colours are bright and vibrant, player models are detailed and the crowd, while flat, is animated. You don't get to see the crowd much anyway, as the game features only two camera angles – the default is easily sufficient however, so don't fret. Players pick at their racquet strings, and in general everything looks lovely. My favourite touch in the graphical department is the way that the line judges dodge the ball when it is hit towards them. As with most Sega games, it's the little touches that make the graphics truly a pleasure to observe.

The interface is extremely basic, and gives the selection of Arcade, Exhibition, World Circuit and Options. The arcade mode allows you to play through either a singles or doubles competition consisting of several stages, which get progressively harder. Exhibition lets you choose your game type (singles, doubles) and players for a one-off match. The World Circuit makes up the bulk of the game, and will be discussed in detail soon. The options menu lets you change the number of games per match (you are limited to one set), difficulty and several other options that you'd expect to find in any game.

VT's audio is decent – there's not a lot of commentary, as you'd expect - instead of the commentary we get music, which seems unusual for a tennis game. As I said before, this is a Sega game, so fast-paced music is almost guaranteed. The music is actually hardly-noticeable during gameplay, and of course you can turn it off through the options menu if you prefer that extra bit of realism.
