While the 2007 version of Tennis Open by Gameloft is still one of the best selling mobile phone sports games of all time, it seems as though Wimbledon 2008 could actually better the earlier version. As we approach the run up to Wimbledon what better time to start putting the rumours around? What better time to put a ground breaking tennis game into the market?

Even though the connection with Wimbledon is there for all to see, the new game will also offer the chance to test your knowledge about the most famous tennis tournament in the world and the great history of the game. The new Gameloft game itself will offer much more than the earlier Tennis Open 2007 with both doubles and singles now catered for, as well as grass, clay and synthetic surfaces.

The fact that it is the official Wimbledon game, with the full backing of the tennis club, is sure to see the profile of both the game and Gameloft rocket sky high as the launch date draws ever closer. The game itself will allow the user to play five training mini-games, taking in the vast array of shots available in the sport. Players will then be taken on to play an official tournament where they can use all of the skills and tricks which they have picked up during training.

Can you imagine playing the best in the world on your mobile phone? Can you imagine dinking that little lob to the back of the court and grabbing the winning point?

Wimbledon 2008 looks set to be one of the best sporting games available to the mobile phone market and while it may not be the easiest to play that is part of the challenge. While we have not received exact details of the launch date, it does not take a mind reader to guess when it might happen!
