French Open (2014) is currently underway so the game of choice for today is a tennis game,: Great Courts (also known as Jimmy Connors Pro Tennis Tour). The game is about... wait for it... tennis, surprise! At the beginning, you have several options: you can either go practice, or you can start the tournament. If you haven't played this game before, I highly recommend to choose a practice first, because it may take some time until you learn how to properly control the game and return the balls to the oponnent side. When you serve, you have to think where to target the pointer - to make the ball hit the right side of the court and at the same time, you have to hit the ball at exactly the right height, so you won't overshoot and hit the small square on the opponent's court. If you learn how to control the game, you can head for the tournament and you will compete on the famous courts in Sydney, Paris, London, etc.
