Pete Sampras Tennis 97

About

Pete Sampras Tennis 97 lets you take control of a customizable player in singles or doubles matches across 8 tournament finals. Compete in a career mode by winning matches to unlock Grand Slam venues or play quick matches and multiplayer brackets with up to 8 players. Lob, slice, and drop shots each have dedicated buttons while spin and serve timing add depth. The serve mechanic requires timing a curve to hit the sweet spot, balancing speed and accuracy. The game stands out for its varied shot options and 10 camera styles mixing fixed and moving angles. Progressing through tournaments in Barcelona, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, and Moscow unlocks major events like Wimbledon and the US Open. While the DOS-era graphics won’t dazzle, the control system and shot customization feel sharp for its time. Multiplayer remains a highlight with local support for 8 players.
