Tennis is an activity in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It was mentioned as one of the available minigames that was to be featured in the game.
Before Tennis can be played, the mission "Complications" needs to be completed first. Tennis is an activity that can be done with dates or as a challenge against computer opponents with several different difficulty levels. Before starting, you can select the numbers of sets you wish to play and the difficulty. There are several different shot types the player may use, such as lobs, topspins and backspins. You can also win money by winning a game of tennis. There are 8 Tennis court locations in Los Santos (Location Guide ).
Trivia
- Franklin Clinton is the only protagonist who cannot play Tennis.
- Any tattoo that Michael or Trevor has on his arms will disappear during the tennis match.
- Due to a glitch, if the player battles Trevor in a tennis match (as Michael), Trevor will be holding a rifle attached to the racket. This can also happen to Michael if playing as Trevor. The glitch is most likely caused by making both protaginists draw their weapons and starting a game before they can holster their weapon, leaving the weapon still in their hands.
- If playing against either Michael, Trevor or Amanda, they (as opponents) share the same win-pose animations as any other computer opponent in the game. This is most likely due to the opponent becoming an NPC and all opponents have the same winning animations, same goes to both Michael and Trevor. If challenged either Michael or Trevor, they technically become an NPC. The protagonist the player controls at the time has unique animations (Michael being proud of himself and Trevor somewhat amusingly hostile).
