CANDYSTAND.COM Serves Up a Classic Tennis Match with a Twist


Do you ever dream of serving up an ace to Rodger Federer or Maria Sharapova? With the U.S. Open just around the corner, tennis fans can hone their tennis game off the court with new Match Point Tennis on Candystand.com, Wrigley’s free entertainment Web site. Tennis experts and novices, alike, can engage in intense net rallies on the popular classic tennis game, which includes 3D graphics and enhanced physics.

Match Point Tennis players have the opportunity to choose and customize their player before going head to head in a three round tournament, playing a total of three sets in each round. Opponents consist of “pro characters” such as “Rafael Nodeal” and “Venus Weller,” monikers of popular tennis players. Players can gain points when serving by striking the ball after they throw it high up in the air and lobbing or chipping the ball across the net.

Match Point Tennis is also a trophy game, which allows players the opportunity to win an online trophy for play. The trophies can then be displayed in their very own personalized virtual trophy room. High scores have the opportunity to win prizes including video game systems.

Candystand.com called in the help of Fuel Industries, one of North America’s leading interactive entertainment developers to develop the cutting edge graphics of this sure-to-be favorite. Other Candystand.com games created by Fuel Industries include: the newly released Snow Grind, GT Racing and Mini Putt Adventure.

Wrigley’s Candystand.com is one of the most popular and heavily trafficked entertainment destinations on the web by both teens and adults. Known for its award-winning gaming content, Candystand.com has featured some of the most popular sports, arcade, card, puzzle and multiplayer games for free online since its launch in 1997.

I’d encourage you to visit Candystand.com to play Match Point Tennis along with Out of Bounds Tennis, which enables visitors to play tennis on the world’s most exclusive courts, like the Great Wall of China or submerged on a submarine.
