This game had so much promise, with ESPN presentation and the Wimbledon licensing it definitely could have found a place in the market. Unfortunately the demo showed that the game had plenty of flaws that weren't capable of being fixed (namely guys like Nadal and Murray who are known for having 2 handed backhands hitting 1HBH regularly) which took the realism out of it for most tennis fans I knew who were looking forward to it. That and the lack of errors and overall wonky gameplay mechanics made it hard to get into it.

There was potential there, like the Total Racquet Control which was a good idea and actually not implemented that badly, but all in all it fell well short of the bar that TS4 had set.
