2K Games and 2K Czech have announced worldwide release dates for the pair’s upcoming tennis simulation, Top Spin 4, while also unveiling an impressive roster of real-world tennis players (both ‘classic’ and current) who will be included in the game as virtual doppelgangers.

In North America, Top Spin 4 will hit storeshelves on March 15th, and then in Europe and the UK March 18th is when those ‘across the pond’ (the other way) will get their hands on the title.

Here’s the announced roster of players included in Top Spin 4:

• Andre Agassi
• Bjorn Borg
• Roger Federer
• Jim Courier
• Rafael Nadal
• Boris Becker
• Serena Williams
• Patrick Rafter
• Michael Chang
• Dinara Safina
• Andy Murray
• Novak Djokovic
• Ana Ivanovic
• Ivan Lendel
• Pete Sampras
• Andy Roddick
• James Blake
• Caroline Wozniacki
• Nikolay Davydenko
• Gilles Simon
• Bernard Tomic
• Eugenie Bouchard
• Stanislas Wawrinka
• Vera Zvonareva
• Jelena Jankovic

Pete Sampras?! Yeah! Forget everybody else – if 2K Czech can simulate his eyebrows in the virtual realm, I’m picking him every time!

Top Spin is slated for release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, and is said to make use of the PS3’s Move motion controllers and 3D capabilities, too.
