How to unlock the 500 Smash Points achievement in Virtua Tennis 3 - Definitive Guide
Can be done while playing career or online matches. When your opponent lobs the ball, rush to the net and hit to smash. Only count for the achievement if you make a point this way.

If you have a turbo controller, this achievement can be won while you are sleeping. Simply setup a doubles exhibition match with the following settings:
1P: Duke (or Nadal if you haven't unlocked him)
CPU2: Roddick
CPU3: Davenport
CPU4: Williams
Games: 1
Sets: 1
Server: Front (Have your partner Roddick Serve)
Court: LA Indoor
Difficulty: Easy
Set up the players so You are at the net on the front side, Roddick is serving on the front side, and the two female players are on the back side.
Start up the match and rubber band your A button on turbo. You should average about 2 smashers per game, and each game only takes about 45 seconds. This may take a few hours, but will also go towards your 1000 games played.

You can do it, like D4RK I FuRy I pointed, in career or online.
But if you want to speed things up, your best bet here is to have a partner, local or over Xbox Live. Set up a match, 6 games 5 sets, and have him lob constantly with "Y" and no direction, rush just over the T line and smash with X or A. If you go to close to the net, you may miss the ball.
You'll do approximately 72 points in 20 minutes each match.
If you don't have a partner to do it, the best method is to set up an easy difficulty match against Hewitt, Haas or Blake, using Duke. I used 1 game 1 set match to help with the 1000 matches, but can be anything you like. Just serve and rush to the net, keep hitting very weak "X" shots with your belly touching the net, eventually your opponent will try to lob over you, then you smash. You'll get 3/4 smashes each game. Takes a long time, but it's the fastest way to do it without a partner.

A better and quicker way than these other two methods is by plugging in a 2nd controller and serving to your 2nd controller.
Return the shot with a Lob and then with your first player smash it home for a point, you can get 4 points in about 30 seconds using this method.
I've just done it and it took me about an hour from 110 to 500.
