Summary of Play

Famous Forehand is a fun, fast-playing simulation of the sport of tennis. The game focuses on positional play, with each player receiving four randomly dealt cards prior to every serve. Each card depicts two key positions that you’re able reach on your half of the course and the paths along which you’ll be returning the ball. A penny tracks the position of the the tennis ball throughout the rally. The first player who’s unable to return the ball loses the point. Famous Forehand is Game #2 in our Famous Games line and the simplest of our designs.

Bill Tilden, famous tennis player

Bill Tilden, famous tennis player

One of the greatest tennis players of all time, Bill Tilden was the World No. 1 player for seven years. Unique among tennis players, Tilden became a great player only at the relatively advanced age of 27 - in his college days, he was not even considered good enough to play on his college team. Besides his great physical abilities, he was an extremely cerebral player, a master of both strategy and tactics, adept at adapting himself to his opponent's style and turning his strengths against him. He always tried to give his paying audience its money's worth and it's alleged he would deliberately lose the opening sets of a match in order to prolong the battle and to make it more interesting for both himself and the spectators.
