Shots
During match, you can make different types of tennis shots and serves. For every shot there is swipe/touch pattern that you have to make. To make shot, you have to make swipe before ball hits your player. Direction of swipe will be direction of your shot or serve. If you make longer swipe, shot will be stronger. Also, adjust sensitivity in settings to match your swipe feeling.
All shots and serves can be practiced in 'Learn' play mode.
Safe shot the easiest one, you can never miss this shot. Just make touch on screen, and player will make shot to land in middle of court.
Safe serve hard to miss serve! Just make touch on screen, and player will make slow serve middle of serve court. Perfect for second serve!
Flat shot swipe from bottom to top off screen. Player will make flat (forehand or backhand) shot. Direction of swipe will determine direction of shot. Longer swipe will make shot stronger (longer).
Spin shot swipe from bottom to top off screen, but make little curve with touch. Player will make spin shot (forehand or backhand) shot. If you make larger curve, shot spin will be larger. Be carefull not to make to much curve as player will make lob shot!
Slice shot swipe from top to bottom of screen in direction of shot to make slice. Slice is slower then spin/flat shots and is perfect if you want to get out of trouble, of make approach to net. Make little curve in your swipe to make shot more difficult for return.
Volley shot swipe from top to bottom of screen in direction of shot to make volley. Shot is similar to volley, but it will be made only if ball didn't touch ground before you hit it.
Smash shot swipe from top to bottom of screen. Shot can be made only if ball is high in air. If you are far away from net, you have to make long swipe to make shot that will fall in court!
Lob shot swipe from bottom to top like in spin shot but make large curve! It is difficult shot to make, and it is best to make it when opponent is near the net.
Short shot make curve similar to letter U. Practice this shot in learn mode, as it is diffult to make it, but it can be very helpfull if you are near the net and oponnent is at court lines.
Flat serve similar to flat shot, just swipe from bottom to top of screen to make flat serve.
Slice serve similar to spin shot, make curved swipe from bottom to top of screen to slice the ball.
Kick serve similar to lob shot, make curved swipe, with larger curve your will have more kick in your serve.
Power shots and serves are done if you hold touch before making touch move. This kind of shot is stronger and more riskier to make. You have limited number of shot to make in each gem.
Aggro
With pressing aggro icons you can change a way how your player will attack the ball. You can advance to the net, play safe or aggressive shots, and make real change in your tactics. There are four aggro icons:
In net force player to move to net to play volleys and smasheh. This mode will lock player to be close to the net.
To net will move player near the net, it can be used as prepare move for going into net. You can also play volleys with this mode.
Normal will position player to play spin/flat and slice shots. Best for trying to score from court.
Passive will move player with greater distance from ball, enabling player to play safer and wair oponnent mistake.
Use aggro modes to adjust your tactics.
Moving on court
During point play, player moves automatically, you don't have to worry how to move player, just how you will place your shots. You can also adjust your move with aggro button, eg if you want to go faster to the short ball. Using stance arrows (left/right) you can adjust your location when you are making or receiving serve. If you press arrows during gameplay, your player will move faster for a whilw. This turbo move has limiter number of uses (together with super shot) per gem.
Use turbo to get to ball fast. Wath out for counter, using turbo will decrease number of strong shots.
