OK, it's decent in presentation, but the gameplay needs a lot of work. Tennis Critters (which I don't think is great) is far superior with running and hitting. You need to speed up the animation to catch up with the ball when you swing like Virtua Tennis (the game automatically times the shot for when the ball gets to you). That game is totally arcade style and it's one of the best feeling games ever.
I'd add mouse control to this game seriously. Tennis Critters with mouse control is actually pretty fun because it lets you run, hit, and aim your shots well. Try that game out. It's not too cool how you have to pause to hit the ball. One thing, it didn't recognize my gamepad either. I don't know if you added the joystick support but that would have been better than using the keyboard, but the mouse would probably be the best of all.
I have a 1GHz Athlon, ATI Radeon 9600XT, 512MB, Win Me and it ran super smooth.
I didn't even notice the serve marker, I just hit the ball.
I'll play it some more and give more feedback.
