Those who watched Sunday’s epic five-set Wimbledon Men’s Singles final between World No. 1 Roger Federer and No. 2 Rafael Nadal saw one for the ages: a match that has already been hailed as the best Wimbledon final, and three-time Wimbledon champ John McEnroe even called it “the greatest match [he’s] ever seen.” Tennis hasn’t ever been as popular in America as, say, football or baseball, but that doesn’t mean that the sport is filled with any less drama, action, or athleticism on the court/field/pitch/what have you.
As for tennis in the videogame realm, 2K Sports’ Top Spin series has taken over the throne of “best tennis sim” from Sega’s Virtua Tennis games, which have more of an arcade feel. Top Spin 3 is the newest iteration of the venerated tennis series, and it aims to be the most realistic portrayal of the sport yet. Hit the jump to find out if it succeeds.
