Virtua Tennis 2009 presents several international tennis stars like Roger Federer, Boris Becker or Maria Sharapova against whom the player must compete or play in the heart of the game: The World Tour. The player creates his own character from scratch and plays to reach the top rank in the world leaderboard.
Like its predecessor Virtua Tennis 3, Virtua Tennis 2009 is not a hardcore sports simulation and only needs three buttons to perform all possible moves. Still time must be invested in character training through sparring matches, Tennis Academy-specific training sessions, and 12 different types of mini-games. These include "Pirate Wars" which requires the player to hit and sink moving pirate ships and "Shopping Dash" where the player must collect items on the tennis floor while dodging balls thrown at them. These mini-games, as well as normal singles and doubles matches, can also be played with/against friends.
In the World Tour mode, the player can perform only one action per week. He can only play in a tournament or do one of the mini-games but not both for example. Moreover, he has to monitor his stamina level which decreases more or less every time he plays a match or does a training session. This means that from time to time it is necessary to sit down for a week or two and go on vacation, returning fully rested. By winning tournaments, the player also earns money which can be invested in different equipment and sportswear.
