Tennis Masters — Play Free Online

Tennis Masters is a browser tennis game from the sports category. You control a player on a court, move into position, and aim your returns against an opponent, trying to win the rally and with it the match. It is a different kind of challenge from the vertical climbing Doodle Jump is known for, but it shares the same appeal: short, easy to understand and quick to restart.

The page loads the game directly, so there is nothing to install and no account to make. A sitting can be as short as a single match, which makes it a handy break between climbing attempts.

How to play

On a keyboard, move with the arrow keys or WASD and use the mouse to aim and to pick options in the menus. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead. The listing credits Poki as the developer.

The core idea in any tennis game is to get your player to the ball early and place the return where your opponent is not. Try the movement and aiming a few times in your first match to see how the ball responds before you worry about winning.

Tips

• Move toward the ball as soon as it leaves your opponent's side, not when it is already close.
• Aim away from where your opponent is standing rather than straight back at them.
• Use a first match to learn the controls, then play for the win.
