Tennis Rules to Remember

• Games and Sets

In tennis, there are three types of scoring: points, games, and sets. There are four points in a game
and six games in a set. (In Mario Power Tennis, there’s also a two-games-per-set setting.) If you’re
playing a one-set match, the player who wins the set wins the match. If you are playing a three-set
match, the player who wins two sets wins the match, and if you’re playing a ve-set match, you’ll
need to win three sets to win the match.

• Calling the Score

Tennis scores are announced in the following manner:

No Points = 0 (Love) 1 Point = 15 2 Points = 30 3 Points = 40

Once someone wins a fourth point, the game is over.

• Deuce and Advantage

When both players have scored three times and the score is tied at 40, this is called deuce. The
next player to score gets closer to winning and then has the advantage. If the player who has the
advantage scores again, that player wins and the game is over. If, however, the opposing player
scores, then the game is tied again and returns to deuce.

• Tiebreak

For example, if, in a two-game, one-set match, both players have won two games, this situation is
called a tiebreak. In a tiebreak, the rst player to score seven points wins. If the players tie at six to
six, however, they’re at deuce and must continue playing until one player wins two points in a row.

Serve the ball to start the game, and when your opponent hits the ball back to you,
swing your Wii Remote with good timing to hit the ball back.

Serving

Move left or right with or to change the location of your serve. Swing
the Wii Remote up to toss the ball, and while the ball is in the air, swing the
Wii Remote again to serve the ball. The serve will change depending on how
you swing . When serving, aim for the opponent’s court diagonally

across from you. If your serve doesn’t land in this area, it’s called a fault, and if
you hit two faults in a row, your opponent will gain a point.

Hitting a Return

Swing the Wii Remote at an incoming ball to return it. Just like the serve, your
shot will change depending on how you swing the Wii Remote. When you
return a serve, only hit the ball after it bounces once on your side of the court.

Your player will automatically lunge at faraway shots. When your Control Options
are set to Manual, you can also manually lunge at a shot by pressing or and
swinging the Wii Remote.

Shot Direction and Strength

The direction of a shot is determined by the timing of hitting the shot.
Swing the Wii Remote quickly to hit a strong shot. Instead of large
swings, take light and fast swings.

Q

What kind of matches can I play, and how are they different?

A

There are two types of tennis games, one­on-one singles matches and two-on-two doubles
matches. The area of the court used differs between
singles and doubles. The alleys (the outer areas of
the court) are used in doubles, but not in singles.
Balls hit out-of-bounds or into areas not used are out,
resulting in points being awarded to your opponent.

Power Shots

When the Power Gauge is full, you can hit a Power Shot. There are two types
of Power Shots, offensive and defensive, which automatically change according to your
distance from the ball. Control options are set to Easy by default, which means that Power
Shots are triggered by swinging the Wii Remote. Go to the Control Options menu
to change this setting. When Hit Power Shots is set to Manual, Power Shots are activated
by swinging the Wii Remote while pressing or .
If you try to hit an offensive Power Shot when you’re far from the ball, a defensive Power
Shot will automatically be activated when Select Power Shot is set to Auto in the Control
Options. When it’s set to Manual, swing the Wii Remote while pressing to activate an
offensive Power Shot, or swing the Wii Remote while pressing to activate a defensive
Power Shot. If you’re too far away from the ball or your timing is off, you’ll miss the shot.

Offensive Power Shots

If you’re close to the ball when you use a Power
Shot, you’ll perform a super-strong offensive shot
with all sorts of special effects.

Defensive Power Shots

If the ball is out of your range when you use a Power
Shot, you’ll perform a distance-negating defensive
shot that will allow you to return almost anything
your opponent sends your way.

Taunt your opponents by waving the Wii Remote when the ball is on their side of the
court. Taunting can decrease your opponent’s Power Gauge.
