Your records and medals will be displayed in a special room that is available right from the main menu. You can also play online with the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection with either friends or random people from around the world. The main feature of the game however, is the World Tour mode in which you create your own character and travel around the world on various events, training sessions and championship matches.

The different game modes you can play are the Arcade mode, which is a short tournament of sorts, Exhibitions matches in either singles or doubles modes (supporting up to four players simultaneously), local tournaments and mini games for up to two players. Virtua Tennis 2009 offers a few different game modes, and you can adjust the game rules of basically all of the game modes to some extent – for example you could adjust AI difficulty or number of games to play.

The player can twist the racquet to adjust its face when it connects with the ball, allowing skilled players to apply spin. When the ball is coming towards the player, it glides into a first person viewpoint where the player can see their racquet in front of him and time their swing accordingly.

There is a dynamic camera system in place, so when the ball is in the other half of the court, the camera pans out so that one can see one's position. When the PlayStation Move is used, the character's left and right movement is automatic but each swing of the racquet must be performed by the player and one can drop back or rush to the net by physically stepping back or forward.
