Anna Kournikova's Smash Court Tennis

About

Anna Kournikova's Smash Court Tennis is a PlayStation tennis game that lets you play as the real-life athlete or other licensed pros. You swing through practice drills, tournament brackets, and exhibition matches. Each victory in the career mode earns ranking points to unlock new players and custom gear. The controls balance arcade flair with basic mechanics, letting you focus on volleys, serves, and power shots. Single player, multiplayer, and co-op modes let you play solo or with a friend. Released in late 1998, the game leans into its star power with Kournikova front and center. The roster includes 12 playable athletes with distinct stats, though the roster feels modest by today's standards. The co-op mode stands out for its time, letting two players team up against AI opponents. While the visuals and audio show early PlayStation limitations, the straightforward matches and unlockable content kept many players coming back for more.
