Matchpoint could be huge in getting a new audience into tennis. I’ve become a fan of different sports from playing those sports games. —Taylor Fritz

You can also take on the likes of Garbiñe Muguruza, Daniil Medvedev, Victoria Azarenka, Carlos Alcaraz, Amanda Anisimova, Taylor Fritz and Nick Kyrgios among 16 current players on tour, or link up for a clash with friends in the game’s fully cross-platform multiplayer.

“For me, I love video games. I’ve been playing video games my whole life. So having my own avatar in a video game is something that’s going to be really cool,” said Fritz. “I’m super excited to get in the game and play, and see myself.”

Added Muguruza, “I feel like if you enjoy tennis, you’re gonna enjoy Matchpoint. I think it will be a lot of fun seeing myself in virtual tennis.”

Like Fritz, Medvedev is an avid gamer.

For Medvedev, it's the credibility that stands out. “They try to make it real and a great feel. That’s the most important because that’s what tennis games missed and I think Matchpoint has done it well.”
