A plain tennis game with fluid control that is inexpensive in every region.

Jennifer Capriati Tennis was developed by System Sacom and released in 1992, with Japan on 12 June, North America in September and Europe the same year. Japan knew it as GrandSlam: The Tennis Tournament '92, and Europe as GrandSlam: The Tennis Tournament. Telenet Japan, Renovation Products and Sega are listed as its publishers.

Video Games and Computer Entertainment found the control surprisingly fluid and thought it more realistic than Super Tennis, with fewer ball-control options. Sega Pro later called the game run-of-the-mill, with very plain graphics and nothing exciting in the play.

What the press said at the time

Sega Force Issue 13January 199392%
Mean Machines Sega Issue 3December 199285%

“A very worthy tennis game for the Megadrive, and one that sports fans won’t fail to enjoy.”

— Mean Machines, August 1992

“Most important of all, the play control in Jennifer Capriati Tennis is surprisingly fluid.”

— Video Games & Computer Entertainment, October 1992

“Capriati Tennis is a dream to control. There are loads of options, loads of sound FX and loads of fun to be had smashing and lobbing balls to your heart’s content!”

— Sega Force, January 1993

“Also known in the US as Jennifer Capriati Tennis, this good-looking sports sim is almost as good as Super Tennis on the Super NES. Great intuitive gameplay is only let down only the slowness of the players.”

— Mean Machines Sega, December 1992

Before you buy

Among US carts the loose price is below the middle. The European cart usually costs much less than the US one, and the Japanese cart usually costs less too, with its complete copies costing noticeably less. The cheapest way to get this game is the European GrandSlam cart. A Japanese cartridge has a different shape and will not fit a Western console without an adapter or removing two plastic tabs in its slot.
