How to play Match Point on Mac

Game summary
Recreate the excitement and tension of world class tennis in this dramatic
simulation that puts YOU on the centre court - stretching to reach that
service, volleying crisply from the net and trying to out-think and
out-manoeuvre your powerful opponent.
Viewed from the commentary box in realistic 3D, you can either challenge your
computer opponent (or another human) in the Open Championship all the way to
the finals, but don't expect it to be easy! Alternatively, you can sit forward
on the edge of your seat and enjoy a stunning display of control and skill at
the exhibition match.
Suitable for joystick or keyboard control, you will need to master the
subtlety of the drop shot and lob as well as the controlled power of the
forehand drive and volley as part of your repertoire of shots - which should
include a range of recovery strokes!
However, sheer technical compentence is not enough. Strategy and tactics are
vital aspects of tennis and you must develop your ball sense and awareness of
court positioning or pay the price. Play an adventurous attacking game or
stay back and wear down your opponent - all the choices are yours, but don't
let your concentration slip.
Once you have mastered the skills and strategy of MATCH POINT, all that
remains is to take a deep breath and step out onto the Centre court in front
of the waiting crowd...

Play Match Point on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Match Point on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Match Point installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Match Point like you would on any PC.
