TOP SPIN TOUR (ITST)!
We have been serving the tennis gaming community since the release of the original Top Spin game in 2003. The ITST is unique in that it follows, exactly, the ATP and WTA tours; hosting tournaments that parallel the real life tournaments contested by tennis professionals. The ITST ranking system also mirrors the ranking system of the ATP and WTA. In short, we do our very best to blur the line between gaming fantasy and tennis reality.

ITST Singles Tour - February 2025 Recap Men's Singles: 09 Apr'25 - 08:57 Yes, yes—I know. You're probably wondering why it's mid-April, and only now am I recapping events from February. Before you grab your pitchforks and storm the Discord channel, hear me out. Your favorite (or at least, tolerable) ITST reporter had a busy few months: I sold my house in the Chicago suburbs, packed all my things into boxes I eventually unpacked, and relocated back to the hustle and bustle of downtown Chicago. Oh, and I started a new job, because apparently, writing free esports tennis recaps doesn’t cover downtown Chicago rent. Who knew?
But enough excuses—back to tennis. And trust me, despite my temporary absence, February's action was worth the wait. While I was drowning in packing tape and orientation packets, ITST’s Singles Tour exploded with drama, historic first titles, fierce sibling rivalries, and ongoing community uproar about whether returns had officially become unreturnable.
Let’s rewind the clock and dive straight into February's best storylines, starting with a stop in Marseille at the Open 13 Provence—where familiar faces reigned, new stars emerged, and no furniture had to be moved. More | |
ABN AMRO Open Crowns a Champion While the World No. 1 Forgets to Show Up Singles: 18 Feb'25 - 07:05 For the first time in what feels like forever, an ITST tournament didn’t have ByJulio steamrolling his way to the final. After the World No. 1 forgot to sign up, the ABN AMRO Open became a proving ground for players eager to capitalize on his absence. But just because ByJulio wasn’t there didn’t mean the tournament lacked intrigue. From razor-thin tiebreakers to an unexpected coaching shake-up that saw longtime mentor pappous1908 juggling client commitments, this tournament had everything—except its most dominant force.

Chaos and Controversy Dominate Open Sud de France Singles: 15 Feb'25 - 23:27 If you tuned into the Open Sud de France expecting a calm, straightforward tournament, you were sorely mistaken. This event had everything—dominant champions, absurd scheduling decisions, rule disputes, and one competitor continuing to hit godlike returns despite a supposed shift in gameplay.
In the end, ByJulio continued his iron grip on the Singles tour, adding yet another title to his collection, while Grudgess claimed the SIM crown, taking down ByJulio along the way. But the road to these victories? Messy, chaotic, and absolutely on brand for the ITST. More | |
