Advantage Tennis is a 1991 tennis video game developed and published by Infogrames for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS.

Gameplay

The game has three modes: training, season, and exhibition. The game is depicted from an over-the-shoulder viewpoint. When creating a character, points can be spent to improve different shot types (backhand, smash, etc.), or decrease points in a shot type to spent them on another shot. In the season mode, the player starts seeded 100 and earns money playing tournaments around the world that can be spent on improving shot types. Before each match, two special abilities can be selected like diving or tweener.
