The game also boasts multiplayer support, with two players able to connect their iOS devices together to play doubles. Players can choose from three different court surfaces, and the game will report on the approximate calories burned during a session.

Motion Tennis for Apple TV version 1.4 is available now as a free, 50.8-megabyte download from the App Store.
