Virtual tennis keeps you fit and virile

Finding it hard to keep up?

Puffed out on stairs?

Gone off sex, have you?

Sound familiar? You’re in bad shape - and the WHO says you are not alone!

Fortunately, there’s now a simple answer: Virtual Tennis.

Many of us reach for our mute-button when we hear the words “working out” or “physical exercise”. It brings back unhappy memories of stress, aches and pains in places where you didn’t know you even had places, the rank smell of sweaty bodies, unhygienic dressing rooms with wet floors, and expensive monthly payments for the pleasure. But there ARE pleasant ways of taking exercise and keeping fit. One of the nicest is tennis. The only problem today is cost: with the amount of space required for each user of a court, it’s beyond the reach of all but the very rich.

But now VirtualSport offers you the chance to enjoy this age-old game easily and at a price your pocket will like. VirtualSport has just completed building a virtual tennis-hall network. Playing virtual tennis is less expensive and even more fun than conventional tennis.

Consider the advantages: a virtual tennis court is only slightly larger than half the size of a conventional lawn tennis court. In fact the only “real” component is Your side of the net. Across the net is your virtual opponent, who can be programmed to play at any level you choose - left-handed or right-handed, big-serving, a touch player, double-handed backhands, you name it. If you don’t feel in the mood for a five-setter, you can simply programme your opponent to hit you just the sort of returns you need to work on - those tricky left-court service returns, topspin passing shots, baseline lobs, or sneaky drop-shots, for example - and the balls will never run out.

The real secret of virtual tennis lies in the “ball” developed by VirtualSport’s hologram engineers. The ball is a moving hologram that you cannot tell from the real thing. When you play a shot, you get a realistic feel of the ball on the racquet through the infrasound technology we have incorporated into the system. The ball flies over the net (always assuming you hit it sweetly!) and is returned by your opponent in just the way you have programmed him or her to play.

Prices for virtual tennis sessions are only half those for normal tennis halls, and your opponent is an ideal match for you - the sort of player you have always wanted to face. And better still, as your game improves, so you can programme yourself a worthy challenge for your new skills.

It’s never to late to start playing tennis, and now it’s never been easier to learn. You can come to the game as a complete beginner, and your virtual opponent will be a perfect teacher - never losing patience, always ready to help you along. And just watch how your condition improves!

You can find the address of your nearest virtual tennis hall from our SportWeb site, along with a list of our tariffs. We’ll even offer you a quality racquet that is yours to keep after 20 sessions on court.

Come and play with us - and keep yourself in shape for tomorrow!

Toteuma-arvio 2026

Toteuma lyhyesti

  • Ilmiön toteuma: 5/5
  • Toteuma viiden vuoden tarkkuudella: kyllä; arviointi-ikkuna on 2011–2021
  • Toteuma väljemmällä aikahorisontilla: kyllä, erittäin vahvasti
  • Ilmiön ydin: virtuaalinen peli tekee liikunnasta viihdyttävää ja saa käyttäjän harjoittelemaan fyysisesti kotona.

Liikeohjattavat konsolipelit ja VR-kuntoilusovellukset yhdistävät pelin, valmennuksen ja todellisen fyysisen rasituksen. Virtuaalinen tennis oli yksi ensimmäisistä suosituista muodoista.

Johtopäätös: ennuste toteutui erittäin vahvasti ja täsmällisesti ydintoimintonsa osalta.
