Grand Slam Tennis 2 sees EA Sports aiming for realism, writes Tom Hoggins.

Marko Djordjevic heads onto the virtual court to find out if three tennis games can coexist in this video review of Grand Slam Tennis 2.

Get used to those words, you'll be hearing them a lot. Grand Slam Tennis is, to the best of my knowledge, the first tennis series to ever feature commentary.
