Reception
GamePro gave the CD-i version a perfect score, lauding the game for its "awesome, realistic, rotoscoped graphics and animation similar to, but more fluid than, Delphine Software's Flashback", its realistic sounds, and its challenging AI opponents.{{cite magazine |title=CD-I Tennis Hits Winners|magazine=GamePro|issue=58|publisher=IDG|date=May 1994|page=116}}
