Tennis Sequel 'Top Spin 4' Announced for 2011

A new entry in 2K Sports' tennis franchise Top Spin will be smashing onto Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii in 2011, the publisher announced today.

Made by Mafia II developer 2K Czech, Top Spin 4 will offer "redesigned controls, jaw-dropping player models and Signature Style animations, enhanced TV-style presentation elements, and one of the deepest player rosters to date featuring tennis' top athletes and legendary pros," or so 2K says.

2K's director of product development, Greg Thomas, boasted in the announcement that "For this iteration, the development team is focused on delivering a bold new take on the sport of tennis by allowing gamers to experience first-hand an uncanny level of realism in the player and stadium models, authentic audio captured directly from real tennis matches, and all-new innovative controls to dominate the competition."

Pre-ordering from GameStop will net you an exclusive "vintage" Andre Agassi character.
