How to play Rafa Nadal Tennis on Mac

Game summary

Rafa Nadal Tennis will give players the chance to develop an illustrious tennis career. The game’s single player Career Mode enables gamers to rise through the ranks of professional tennis, competing in 20 tournaments at 17 international locations. Within each player's profile are five key performance abilities: Serve, Forehand, Backhand, Smash and Speed. Credits won from match prizes can be invested into any of the abilities to raise the player’s overall performance level. A match win may also bring in prize money, which can be used to purchase new equipment or even hire a partner for a game of doubles. Beyond the single player Career Mode, doubles matches can be played in the game’s multiplayer modes, which enable up to four players to compete wirelessly. The Single-Card wireless multiplayer mode lets up to four players join a match from a single copy of the game. If all players have a copy of the game, a more extensive Multi-Card multiplayer mode offers additional choice over court types and players.

Play Rafa Nadal Tennis on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Rafa Nadal Tennis 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).
