Tennis World Tour Rallies to PS4 Ahead of the French Open

You’ll be able to celebrate Roland Garros with a round of virtual tennis this year, as Bigben Interactive has announced that Tennis World Tour will target the PlayStation 4’s baseline from 22nd May. That’s days prior to the French Open getting underway, and a couple of months ahead of Wimbledon as well. Perfect timing.

The boxart varies around the world, but everyone gets Roger Federer on the front. In the UK, the Swiss superstar will share the stage with Angelique Kerber and Stan Wawrinka, while the US gets John Isner [We think? – Ed] and Madison Keys. There are various other differences around the world; France gets Gael Monfils, for example.

After the disappointment of AO Tennis (which still isn’t available outside of Australia), we’re really hoping that new developer Breakpoint Studios can hit the heights of the fantastic Top Spin 4. The gameplay has looked a little sluggish from what we’ve seen thus far, but the studio’s had over six months to polish things up since we last got a look.
