If tennis is no longer a source of national pride, it remains a national obsession.

Open Tennis 2000 on the PC lets players relive those summer memories long after the Williams semi-final and Davis Cup humiliation.

A new 3D engine makes the game as smooth as it is believable.

Even with the PC's awkward cursor, the game plays easily.

But fans will be disappointed not to see their favourite players featured.

While Wimbledon is there, it is not named. It is obvious the game's creators could not afford the enormous licensing fees.

Roland Garros is featured, belying the game's French roots, and the CD comes with a tennis encyclopedia and quiz.

The game is one of the more enjoyable and accessible sports simulations around.
