A good Tennis anime

When i saw this, it was called "Jennie, Jennie", but the real name is Ace o Nerae. This is the story of a girl that became a great tennist (Hiromi), and how she won the best females tennists in Japan, and there is too a love story with a male tennist, that she like, but there are many problems with this love.

For me, what i liked in this anime is the plays that each tennist has, like after in Captain Tsubasa, each player have their "power play", and she got to find out how to win, because each player has a special quality, and a special handicap,its worth to see, even if is to see one of the first anime (1973).
