Play Both Sides of the Court

You can play yourself in a match by selecting your own Mii to be your opponent.

Change the Wii Tennis Court

You can change to the practice court by holding down the ‘2′ button when the ‘Safety Warning’ screen is on.

Effective Wii Tennis Strategy

Hit several cross court shots (4 or 5) with your back court Mii, pushing your opponent further and further to one side of your court then use your front court Mii to hit the ball in to the open court. This works very well with both computer and human opponents. As your opponents increase in skill, and therefore quickness/speed, you will need to hit more cross court shots to set up the open court shot.

Stroke Length

Short quick strokes are best when playing Wii Sports Tennis. You’ll have a tendency to use your ‘real’ tennis stroke; not sure if that is a good or bad thing ;). While this may increase the enjoyment of the game, you’ll find that short/quick strokes are most effective.

Hitting the Ball on the Short Side of the Court

On the flip side of hitting the ball cross court is hitting it to the short side of the court. To do this, you will want to hit the ball late; if you use your Mii body as the guide, you’ll want to hit the ball just after it crosses your Mii’s body.

Hitting the Ball Cross Court

To hit the ball cross court on either your forehand or backhand hit the ball a little earlier; if you use your Mii body as the guide, you’ll want to hit the ball prior to it being equal with your Mii’s body. The earlier you hit the ball the further cross court it will go. Don’t swing too early though!

Super Serve

To hit the Super Serve you must hit the ball at it’s peak. This is simply a matter of timing but it does take some of the guess work out of hitting the Super Serve. I prefer to use the throwing motion vs. hitting the ‘A’ button to toss the ball in the air, this motion seems to help my timing.
