You would have thought that there would be a good tennis game for Android, especially given that Wimbledon is on this week. It seems not to be the case. Ping Pong does NOT count.

I don't see this in the android market. Where can we get it from?
I found Cross Court Tennis boring. I wound up just rallying forever.
If the AI was significantly better, it'd be a very good game.
Rallying forever? Not the experience i have. Before the ball is hit by your oppenent you can already give direction, the earlier you do this the harder and more precise you will hit. Then your rallies will not be long at all

But then again, it's all personal.
Maybe I was just really bad! I think I might have been playing on the middle level.
I figured out how to do max power by swinging really early, but I was just having never-ending rallys. The computer couldn't get one by me either though, so, if it was me just being a bad player, the computer should be winning some points.

Disable auto running, your winning streak will be over, haha
I have developed a PC tennis game that's called Full Ace tennis simulator (can't post the link, please google it).
I am currently considering porting this game to smartphones (I have several ideas for an interesting touchscreen gameplay). I thought people in this thread could tell me if they think it's worth doing it or not, and what you would be willing to pay for a tennis game app.
Please let me know what you think.

I would definitely be willing to pay for a sim style tennis game for Android. I love tennis and tennis video games, but the options out there for android and iphone I find to be very mindless.
I tried Crosscourt and I find that autorun makes the game too easy and turning it off just makes it way too hard. The gestures for running have to be made before you make the gestures for hitting.
With Gachinko, you have a control pad for movement and two buttons for hitting. It makes for a more natural way to control the game. At least, it's more natural for me. I'm used to a joystick on one side and buttons on the other.
Gachinko also has a number of different serves you can choose from. Each subsequent computer opponent is progressively harder and each has a different style of play as well. My only criticism is that some of the serves that the computer player makes seem impossible as they seem to bounce in a totally different direction as you expect.
I picked up Virtua Tennis back in November. It's awesome. Different players have different strengths. The bigger tournaments are harder than the easier ones, so you can start with the easy ones and when you get better, you can play in the bigger ones. My go to tennis game right now.
