In your first season aim to win all the minors and possibly a major or two, concentrate on training and max out power,forehand, backhand, speed and precision. In your second season continue to train and distribute the stars as desired (serve, stamina and reflexes id recommend personally) but aim to win all the majors and any "special" matches such as the tennis academy naming one etc, this will give you silver and gold stars.
When you max out 60 bronze stars you will get an invitation from a billionaire to a private match, its vs your rival and winning it is almost essential to maxing out all your stars in gold. By the end of your second season or beginning of your third you should have all gold stars and be well prepared to compete in slams and masters. Keep entering and winning minors and majors as well as the slams and masters.
If youre losing a match or training session quit to dashboard BEFORE the game can autosave.
At the end of every season youll be presented with your career points up to that point, hopefully by the end of the 4th or 5th 1000 will have been earned and you can sim to the end of the fifth season.
As DenXD pointed out, playing as female also makes it much easier both as you dont have to play as many sets and or have to face Federer.

this achievement really blows but can be done quite simply by putting ure mind to it my two tips are dashboard if ure gonna lose and sim strategically

To add as a note; Play as Female. You don't have to play best of 5 sets in Grand Slams. Saves some time doing this achievement :)
By DenXD on 27 Nov 2009 11:01
Has anyone ever reached rank #1 but not received the 200 career points? I'm not good enough to win Slams so without those points, I don't think I can hit 1000.

One more piece of advice.... I got the idea reading solutions for an other game, but INSTEAD of dashboarding out, just sign out. The game can not continue and therefore can not autosave. After the splash warning about the game can not continue, you will be prompted back to the main menu and then sign back in and go from there. Save a TON of time.

i have 940 points and just finished my 3rd season and in the 3rd season i skipped all minors and majors and played only the masters and slams which i easily won all of :)
By Mike the Owl on 28 Oct 2011 05:02
Good sound advice, it's fine being male I got 1200 by the end of my 3rd season. Federer is a total pushover, I found Moya and Coria to be annoying opponents, I think its the way you assign your stars, I topped forehand, backhand, power and speed, and made sure I had at least two gold stars on everything else. Really not as difficult as you first think.

I would strongly advise AGAINST simming too much of your final season. At least in my case, my player kept losing a lot of simmed matches. You have to make sure to stay above the 1000 points! Simming the early rounds of a tournament is usually safe, though.
Overall I actually got bored after about season 3, because it was too easy. Just sim carefully and grind it out.
By SilentJay76 on 11 Feb 2013 19:05
Thumb's up from me. Thanks for pointing out the fact on winning the special events was important. I wasn't sure if they were better to win them or to just skip them to focus on Masters and Slams instead. Answered my one concern about this game in order to complete it in the most time efficient way.
By Mr Granstaff on 14 Feb 2013 17:15
What a shitty game.
Thought I'd add that
By FLD Marshal Z0D on 02 Nov 2014 17:15
did you totally complete the season by playing in the last totally pointless match against your rival? It should unlock after that, if not i dont know what to tell you mate, its not a fun achievement to go for again.
By Scud1888 on 02 Jun 2009 16:44
ok,i only sim games ive won.i win all minors and majors in career.and then win all masters from season 2.Cant win any slams,impossible to get past semi finals after several restarts.|Im in my 4th season and rank 2nd again for 2nd season running.i had 366 points at end of 3rd season and don't think I'm going to have enough points.This will be my 3rd and final attempt.Hate this game way too much to go through the pain again.
Career really sucks.
By Diesel Foley on 05 Jan 2016 02:07
Wow, only 366! I don't know how it's so low by then, but I remember that I had to win at least a few slams, if I was close to the end and about to lose I quit to dashboard. I worked out this method of beating really hard opponents by just getting into position very early and using
until I had enough room to try a special hit. Not really much more I can tell you, I got this first attempt no bother, but I did win every event, and dashboarded if I was close to losing.

A few tips for those trying to achieve this in 2016 on the female tour. Kuznetsova and Amelie Moresmo are in my opinion the hardest to beat so here's how to deal with them. Kuznetsova usually serves on the corner and wide out, so you might wanna press X on the line, and instantly run on the other side. Now for the first three points she might not go into god mode, but when she will (Usually when you're at 40) USE your momentum shot passive slice to get an easy return. If all of this fails, use Y at the service return, wait a bit and run on the other side when she's about to hit it again. Very often Kuznetsova hits a straight shot back on the line thats why you rather wait. Now for Moresmo, LOB is your best friend. When she's in god mode, she will usually run at the net. So let her come, when she's close don't return more than 2 shots, and hit lob. 8 times out of 10 it works. If it dosen't it's either because she ran back to smash it, or because your lob got out. Usually if you're Adv-40 it might go out cause the game does it on purpose :) Et voila!.

hate this game....in my bottom 3 of all time....complete shit
By Diesel Foley on 25 Dec 2015 08:51
As tennis games go it's pretty good, good balanced gameplay, there are much worse out there believe me. I think you're just a little frustrated at this achievement, but with a bit practice it really isn't that bad and you may even start to enjoy it.
By o DEEVIUS o on 25 Dec 2015 18:41
frustrating yes...balanced not a chance...I don't even know where your getting that from.Ive been rank 2nd and 3rd now for 2 seasons.Cant catch no1 as I cant beat venus who is ranked 4th even though I'm gold stars.Beat the number 1 player twice but cant win any slams and this career takes so long and cant even get this 1000 points in it.
By Diesel Foley on 04 Jan 2016 23:00
Keep trying bud, I got it right at the end of my 3rd season, if you can win your games consistently you should get there, but don't sim too much. Good luck
By o DEEVIUS o on 04 Jan 2016 23:11
end of 4th season had 793 points.Became rank 1.won every minor,major and master but no slams.I need 200 points in season 5 which is doable if I can only win slams.Its so dam difficult as I always face rank 2 or 4 in semi.I will keep trying.Thank you for your help and advice. I listened to some very bad advice on x360forum which obviously people lied saying I didn't need to win slams.
By Diesel Foley on 05 Jan 2016 21:15
ok.so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but its pointless now.Just finished the season with 900 points.All because I CANNOT win any slams,hell I cant get to the final.The AI is too fast and its not like I'm close they wipe the floor with me.Your talking about wining slams when u only have bronze stars and I cant even get there with max gold.Spent well too long on this awful game,over 50+ hours in the career.Skill setting is just to high.This game is a complete joke to have a career that long with THAT many tornaments and not be able to get 1000 unless I'm fucking insanely skilled.I won over 50 tournaments in my 5 season career.....I guess that's shit for any average tennis player.
By Diesel Foley on 05 Jan 2016 21:41
I would definitely not consider myself skilled at tennis games, and especially not Top spin; I had some trouble beating the very best players at first and often broke out in sweats trying to win.
I just figured out a certain way to play that generally won most points, it's hard to explain, and a very long time ago, but the key was predicting which side the opponent was going to and getting there early, something like 3 out of 5 times I guessed right and once you got in that 'zone' you are guaranteed to win the point.
The only other important thing is never to lose a championship and continue, always go to dashboard if you're going to lose and try the tournament again. You often get different opponents and they can be much easier to beat with your style of character.
By o DEEVIUS o on 05 Jan 2016 22:00
I got this achievement today,finally.Had to load up an earlier save from season 4 and win 1 slam.Took me many tries.I ended the 5th season with only 1 slam win but got more points in season 5 than before even though I lost both masters.Weird but don't care,finished with 1019 points.I was rank number 1 for most of season 5 when I wasn't before.Anyway big thanks to DEEVIUS for advice on here,certainly helped.
By Diesel Foley on 07 Jan 2016 22:02
My opponent after maxing out 60 bronze medals is just unbeatable. Not even gonna win one point against her, in 15+ tries now.
By King GBF on 26 Apr 2020 16:48
For anyone who is still going for this below are my career points for each season.
Season 1 - 78
Season 2 - 317
Season 3 - 449 Hit #1 in this season
Season 4 - 116 Lots of simming won all minors and majors.
Season 5 - 74 Lots of simming won a couple minors and majors.
The points shown at the end of each season are your overall points you do not need to add any numbers together.
Good luck and make sure you pick a female character it makes the completion much easier.
By CHERRY CHEERIOS on 01 Jun 2021 20:47
Nothing beats the endless joy of spending all Sunday afternoon simming my max stat player against rank 131 players that consistently double-donut me in a minor tournament, just to get those last 50 points in my career 😅
EDIT: In case this helps anyone, I got 107 points in my last year, by:
* Winning all Minors
* Winning all Majors
* Winning 2 Masters
* Winning the first two matches of each Slam and the other Masters
FYI, it's safe to assume that if you sim against a licensed player, you're likely to lose badly. You may also need to play against some lower ranked players to keep your wins up because the game seems to super power some players in some tournaments. Shout out to the fake player ranked in the mid-100s in a minor who was substantially harder to beat than Sharapova or Williams (I won 3-0 3-0 vs Williams 10 of 11 matches).
