This guide on Tennis Manager 2021 Mobile will help you to create and train players and win exciting tournaments such as the Australian Open and make history. Now, without further ado, let’s get into the beginners guide for Tennis Manager 2021 Mobile.

Simple Game Mechanics

The game mechanics are pretty simple and is perfect for a management game like this. You will start with a player, who you will train and make them play and win epic tournaments. As far as the controls go, the player cannot be directly controlled, but the simulation here is the best in class for a mobile game. You can instruct your player in the match to help them focus on a particular play style.

Additionally, you can start a tournament when your player is trained properly. There is a dedicated training section in the game where your player will undergo different training sessions under your guidance. Once training is finished, its time the player goes into action.

Tennis Manager 2021 Mobile Guide: Spectate the match being played

When playing a match, the player will have to score 6 points to win the set. In case both the players are at 5 points each, then they have to score two continuous points to win the set (This additional point is called Advantage Point which gets removed if the other player scores one). If a player wins 2 sets, the match is won. If each of the players wins one set, there will be an additional set to determine the winner of the game.

Tennis Manager 2021 Mobile Guide: Things to do before the next match

After each match, the player will lose their strength and will. You can always build them back by training them before the next tournament. The Physical Shape bar, which is orange in colour, will let you know how your player is. This depicts the level of tiredness your player feels, if this bar is low, then your player will not be able to perform properly. Always aim to replenish them with the help of a doctor or a consumable.

Similarly, there is the Mental Shape bar, which is blue in colour. Such a bar will depict the mental stress the player is undergoing. You can train them in between matches to replenish this bar which will keep them calm while playing matches. The lower the bar stands, the lower the performance becomes in both these cases. This bar can be replenished by using a Psychologist or a doctor or using consumables.

Tennis Manager 2021 Mobile Guide: Progress through tournaments winning matches

The game modes are simple as you can play tournaments once your player’s training is complete. There are classes of tournaments, where your player will begin their career at Rookie Tour 10 and will advance once each tournament is won. With a tournament win, the player will win MTL points and in-game Cash. The MTL points directly affect the leaderboard standings, while cash is used for upgrading the academy and to pay staff which we will take a good look at, soon. Although the simulation is automatic, the player’s strategies and stats solely depend on how you handle them. There is also a Multiplayer mode where your players will be put up to the challenge, where your player will meet opponents in the same league (in terms of level).


Choose your tournaments wisely to win

Each tournament will give a new set of challenges for your player. Tournaments take place every week and you can choose which tournament your player can participate in. For registering you have to pay some in-game cash and once registered you can start the tournament. A tournament will start with a set of players depending on the tournament and number of matches in it, which gets narrowed down to 2 players at the Finals. For instance, the Rookie Tour 10 had 8 rounds but the Rookie Tour 20 has 16 rounds, while rewards such as MTL points and Cash differ too.

Tennis Manager 2021 Mobile Guide: Pick your tournaments wisely

Each tournament has a different set of challenges and rewards. The type of court changes depending on the location of the tournament. The opponents can be difficult if their level is higher or equal to your player’s level, so it is essential to train and instruct the player properly. There is a wildcard option which will allow your player to participate in a higher league, which is difficult and still rewarding at the same time. So, choose wisely whether to participate in such tournaments.

While training a player who is a “Defensive Baseliner”, the player’s strong forte is defence. The type of surface in the court also affects the play style of the player. Some players get a favour from the surface, while others do not. A Defensive baseliner likes to play on the ‘Clay’ surface, as it slows down the game and helps them. On the other hand, such a player does not do well on a “Grass” surface which is fast-paced. While choosing a tournament, always keep an eye out for the type of surface and opponent level.


Train your players and set tactics

Train different player abilities

Tennis Manager 2021 Mobile Guide: My Players section allows to train players

               You can train multiple players eventually, but in the beginning, you will train one. You can check their stats from the “My Players” section. Which shows the player’s different abilities such as their Serve-Volley, Resistance, Movement, Offence, Mental and Return-Rally, each of which has a value which can be improved upon constant training. Now training a player has a separate section, let’s take a look at it.

Tennis Manager 2021 Mobile Guide: Check improvements in a session

Training can also be done manually and automatically. In Manual Mode, you can build a session with different training activities. The training activities are be classified into:

  • Short-term: Short-term training will only be temporary and then will wear off.
  • Long-term: Long-term training will have a lasting impact on the stats of the player.
  • Healthcare: Healthcare is to avert or fix any injury happening to the player.
Tennis Manager 2021 Mobile Guide: Decide the mode of training

You can select up to 4 different parts of training to form a session. Each training session will cost a certain amount of Action Points which replenish over time. It may take up to 4 hours to fully replenish and continue training.

You can skip the little animation, you can see the improved stats on the right side and the player’s physical and mental shape on the top. After each of the training sessions, the stats get affected, which in turn, affects the level of the player. If you increase the stats, they can participate in the higher-level tournament and win rewards.

Set your strategies to win games

Tennis Manager 2021 Mobile Guide: Set strategies to win a match

 You can always set the strategy to win matches. Each match condition changes based on the surface of the field. If the surface is favourable, then the player can be tuned to play an offensive match and win. Similarly, they can also be set to defence, when the field type is not favourable. You can change the strategy at any time during the match.

In this case, you can set their Rally, Serve, Return, Spin and Zones based on multiple factors, or you can simply allow the player to choose it while they play by selecting natural behaviour. Strategising is one of the important portions when facing skilled opponents or opponents who are favoured by the conditions of the field. You can always tune this and end up getting a good result. Choose natural behaviour if you are not familiar with any of this, so the game will choose accordingly while playing.

Tennis Manager 2021 Mobile Guide: Place instructions during a match

Instructions are much-needed because as a manager, you can’t play for your player. If things turn bad, you can always instruct your player to play in a certain style. Choose up to 4 instructions to give to the user during the match, which will be followed by the user. Instructions can be given by selecting the Coach Icon at the bottom, while the match is in progress.

There is a time limit between successive instructions, whenever the coaching bar is filled, you can use it to send an instruction. The bar fills when the match progresses. You can choose an instruction such as “Rocket Return” which will help your player to focus on the quality of return to put the server under pressure.
