Tapni.Ru posts some screenshots from another upcoming Gameloft game Real Tennis 2009.
The translated bullet point features include:
- 8 players who have performed with the help of a detailed 3D-graphics.
- From Paris to New York or Stockholm, play at 7 different stadiums on the 3 surfaces – clay, grass and synthetics – from each of their impression.
- Local Server mode Wi-Fi – Compete with friends in real time!
- Office, which takes into account all the features of iPhone / iPod touch
- Serve, simply turning your iPhone!
- 2 intuitive touch regime that will suit everyone: A digital keyboard for maximum accuracy or joystick to control in the arcade style.
- Wide range of strikes: candle smesh and beyond.
- Career mode, which allows you to tour as a professional player.
The game is reportedly sent to the App Store and should arrive very soon. Tapni.Ru also seems the likely source of the Rise of Lost Empires screenshots that appeared earlier today.
It lacks online multiplayer. Too bad.

Thats what I waiting for! Great!
Wow Gameloft is really sh#@ing on everyone else's parade. Brothers in Arms, Sparta, Assasin's Creed, Let's Golf, Terminator and now this…
Don't forget about Real Soccer 2009! My favorite!
Little concerned about the "digital keyboard" for control. That seems like to direct port from a cell phone version. Graphics don't look quite as good as Touchsport Tennis, but if the gameplay is truly as advertised, I will be dropping some cash on this one.
Nice Gameloft…another sports game that isn't Derek Jeter Pro Baseball 3D.
C'mon…you and The Captain…make it happen!
yeah, kinda curious about what happened as well to Flick Baseball and TouchSports Baseball 2009/Hitting 1000. They seem to have disappeared entirely, perhaps waiting for the All Star Break as promotion?
Looks extremelly promising
I only hope it nails the most important thing on tennis game: solid and fun gameplay. There have been some interesting attempts already, but the iPhone is really lacking a good tennis game. Hopefully, this will be it 
looks fake… get it?
Wow this looks amazing. I will get it for sure
Looks awesome, but I wish the controls suited the theme a little better. I mean, the black D-Pad sticks out like a sore thumb, and the design only works for physical buttons. How 'bout a nice crystal blue virtual joystick?
How about no virtual anything? How about hotzones or swipe controls rather than a virtual dpad or virtual joystick? I mean…honestly…Gameloft needs to think outside the box every now and again.
Or, think appropriate to the box in hand-the iphone/IPT.
if this really does offer the illusive "candle smesh" shot, then I will have to get it … if only to find out what that means
but hell this does look promising – hopefully the "digital keyboard" reference is just another example of lost in translation
gameloft again?!
nice..
Guarantee how many hour play this time… OK 30 minutes :\
finally…tennis come out
now just wait for basketball!
This is going to be a must buy for me. I'm really peeved with TST not delivering on their promised career update, but they don't really care about that franchise anymore. Go Gameloft!
gotta have that "candle smesh"

In championiship mode: how do you save a match? do you always have to restart a particular match from the beginning? This doesn't make it a casual game at all since you must play for at least 20 minutes straight…..
