Jean-Luc had an unreasonable amount of favorite places, but Diagon Alley’s resident tea shop just might top the list. As soon as he stepped through the doors, the various aromas soothed him, all the stresses from the day fading away with the promise of a nice cup of chamomile. After a second’s pause where he closed his eyes, taking it all in, he opened them again with a faint smile on his face and scanned the cafe for the perfect table. It seemed he wasn’t the only one he knew who’d sought solace from the world in the confines of the teashop, and waving his hand in greeting he carefully picked his way over to Felix’s table. “Is this seat taken?” Gesturing towards the empty seat, he looked a bit embarrassed at the concept of interrupting. “I would love some company myself, but I know this is the ideal place to sit alone and think.”

Tennis World Tour 2 Roster Announced, Features Federer and Nadal

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Hitting like tennis icons Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal on a real court may be close to impossible. World Tour Tennis 2 will give fans the chance to at least hit like some of their favorite pros on the virtual court. The new game from NACON and Big Ant Studios will feature 38 professional players, including a few tennis legends. 

The roster announcement came just a day after Domenic Thiem won a thrilling fifth-set tiebreak to capture his first U.S. Open title. The newly crowned Grand Slam winner is one of the playable pros in World Tour Tennis 2. On the WTA side, world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty, American Madison Keys, Canadian Bianca Andreescu, and Czech Petra Kvitova are amongst the playable pros in the women’s game. You can find the full list of players in World Tour Tennis 2 below.

The tennis sim is set to launch on September 24th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, and October 15 on Nintendo Switch. The game is a sequel to the poorly reviewed World Tour Tennis, which launched despite the original game publisher, BigBen Interactive, admitting the game was only about 20 percent completed with weeks to go before release. It should be noted that the sequel is being produced by Big Ant Studios, an Australian game developer known for rugby, lacrosse, and cricket titles. There are several new features that the studio hopes will put the series back on track: 

Highly anticipated new features: the ability to play doubles matches with up to 4 players locally and online, a competitive mode, an improved serve system and a new shot timing mechanic

More realistic: more animations create smoother gameplay

Multiple game modes: Career, Quick Match, Online, Tournament, Ranked Match and Tie Break Tens – there’s a format to suit every player

Several official courts: Manolo Santana of the Mutua Madrid Open, the OWL ARENA of Halle or the 3 courts of Roland-Garros: Philippe-Chatrier, Suzanne-Lenglen and Simonne-Mathieu.
