Skills

Skills are earned once you have reached a particular level of 

technical mastery. There are sixteen skills to choose from, but 

you can only learn one skill for each level of technical mastery 

you gain.
Because you are limited in the number of skills you can learn, 

it’s important to decide which advanced skills compliment your 

player’s style and go for those.
Level One Skills (choose one from this list)

• 

Return Serve—

Increases your profi ciency in 

returning serves.

• 

Curved Serve—

Adds curve to your slice serve.

• 

Precision—

Gives you better control over the accuracy 

of your shots.

• 

Return Risk Shot—

Increases your profi ciency in returning 

risk shots.

There are additional skills that you can earn as your 

masteries progress.

S p o n s o r s

Sponsors offer players coin and apparel in exchange for using 

their equipment. When you approach a sponsor, they will give 

you a challenge to complete; this gives them a chance to see if 

you are worth sponsoring. When you’ve successfully completed 

the challenge, you will have access to new clothes and shoes 

from your sponsor. These items can be found in your Sport Bag.

Coach Tip

You can use skills to really boost your 

masteries, or select skills that will cover 

up your weaknesses.

Changing Sponsors

You can change sponsors at any time by selecting a new sponsor 

on the world map and completing their challenge. However, 

you will lose any gear your former sponsor awarded you. If you 

do decide to change sponsors, you can always go back to any 

previous sponsor at the same sponsor level where you left off.

Coach Tip

As your career progresses, your sponsor may 

offer you more challenges; completing these 

will result in more coin and clothing.
