Tennis Manager 26

Tennis Manager 26 lets you run a tennis academy or manage a rising player’s career. Develop talent, hire staff, oversee scouting, set training plans, manage your budget and invest in facilities. You can also coach matches live in a 3D match engine, adjusting tactics as points unfold.

Manage an academy

Build your academy and guide it up the ranks, impressing the board along the way. You can eventually become national team captain and lead your country in international competition. Notes help you track observations, targets and players throughout a season, while Leaders & Classes lets you compare players in areas such as serve, return and pressure points, including how your players perform against others in the same class.

Matchdays include pre-match briefings, Insight Reports with tactical suggestions and an updated in-match interface. A redesigned interface provides a Home screen with results, upcoming events and other information, along with dropdown menus for navigating the men’s, women’s and junior circuits.

Winning matches and tournaments builds your player’s popularity and influence on and off the court. You also manage their image and endorsements as they pursue GOAT status.
