See the EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis cover athletes in action photo

Yesterday, EA unveiled the three-person cover art for EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis, and today, they put out a video of the three athletes -- John McEnroe, Roger Federer, and Serena Williams -- playing at the Australian Open and Wimbledon. You can see it after the jump.

You would think that they’d have sent us the video yesterday, so we could’ve just combined the video with the screenshots, but I suppose they wanted the separate media to stand on their own. Or perhaps they just forgot to send the video. Who knows? Either way, the footage is solid -- the more I see of this game, the more I wish I had a Wii.

EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis will hit stores in North America on June 15th; there’s more gameplay footage here, more images here, and more information on the game’s Web site.

They sent it separately so that they get news about their game up on the front page twice instead of once. And you totally fell for it, Samit.

Is their a side view in this game? Cause watching from this trailer, I think it's easier for the bottom player to beat the top player when playing from a top down sort of view.

@Dexter345: Those insidious bastards hoodwinked me!

@Chronic Logic: No -- all tennis games are like this. It seems like it would be easier, but (A) it's not really much easier, and (B) the players switch sides pretty often during a match.

@Tubby Joe: You are awesome.
