Tennis in 2083

Lacoste is celebrating their 75th anniversary with a look another 75 years into the future - or to be more precise - a look at what the game of tennis will be like in 2083.

And, it is going to be rather high-tech. Serves are played volleyball style, which increases the speeds tremendously, the tennis racket is made using an unbreakable magnetic field, and a mask is used for both protection and as a head up display. Not to mention that the entire playing field is all digital.

I think I am going to start playing tennis... sure looks like my kind of game.

Excellent graphics and visuals, but come on... havent we already learned from all the movies that came out in the 80's about what would happen in the year 2000?! I think that regular people will be wearing t-shirts and jeans, sunglasses and shoes.

People in tennis will be wearing shoes that are better for your knees and that is the only change
