It’s a big month for tennis. The Roland-Garros French Open tournament has begun in Paris, and the centre-court enthusiasts at French independent developer and publisher Rebound CG have launched Tennis Manager 2023.

The realistic management sim puts players in control of their own virtual tennis academy and is available now via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG. Launch price promotions are available for a limited time, including a special Steam discount for owners of Tennis Manager 2022.

In Tennis Manager 2023, players will take their hand-picked academy of players from the humble beginnings of the junior circuit, through training and more than 2000 tournaments, to the high-stakes professional circuit and global acclaim. The team at Rebound CG have poured their tennis-loving souls into the game, which builds on the success of the first titles in the series with a host of new features.

Alongside its roster of brilliant international tennis stars, the game features player creation, plus a host of complex team management tools to dive into. Matches have been made more immersive with enhanced AI and animations. In terms of experience, the arrival of international team competitions (Davis Cup, Olympic Games) and with them the format of doubles matches, will place the manager in a new role of national coach.

Augustin Pluchet, CEO of Rebound CG, said:

“These are exciting times for the game of tennis in general, with a new generation of players shaking up the real world rankings. These are the stars that players will engage with and guide to success in the virtual world of Tennis Manager 2023. We’re thrilled that we have been able to build on the success of the first game to deliver an experience with so much more for our players to enjoy.”
