Play Jimmy Connors Tennis Online

Summary

Jimmy Connors Tennis lets you step onto an ATP‑style circuit with the unmistakable flair of the 1990s tennis star. Ubisoft timed the release just after Connors’ surprising 1991 US Open semifinal run, banking on his comeback hype and even using his name and likeness on the cover.

The Game Boy version offers three difficulty tiers for solo play, a practice mode for honing serves, and a two‑player showdown via the Game Link Cable, so friends can rally head‑to‑head. The controls are stripped down for the handheld, but the core feel of a professional tour still shines through.

Critics were split: the Lynx port earned a solid 90/100 from Computer and Video Games, while French site Jeuxvideo.com gave it a modest 12/20 and Total! rated it 62%. Despite a planned Sega Genesis edition that never materialized, the game remains a quirky footnote in Ubisoft’s early tennis series.
