Play Top Ranking Tennis Online

Jaleco released Top Ranking Tennis for the Game Boy in 1993, a time when portable sports games were often simple, scaled down affairs. It stood out by trying to capture the feel of a real match, not just a quick diversion.

You control a tennis player from a side view, moving them around the court to return serves and volleys. The main objective is to win tournaments against increasingly difficult computer opponents. Signature mechanics include aiming your shots with the D-pad to place the ball precisely, and a stamina system that forces you to manage your player's energy during long rallies. The pacing is deliberate, with matches that require patience and careful positioning rather than frantic button mashing. It feels rewarding to finally outsmart a stubborn opponent with a well placed shot to the corner.
