I'm getting Virtua Tennis. It looks (and I think plays) more realistic. It may have some annoyances but I'm not feeling GST's style.

Yes that's what I was thinking as well.  It seems Virtua Tennis' online is pretty buggy.  I also have a feeling GST will sell much more so you are more likely to find opponents in that.  But the Virtua Tennis video sure looked impressive.  Really fast game play.  Looks like real tennis. 

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Argos are doing a preorder offer in the U.K. Order today and it's £29.99. Am hoping this includes WM+ though.

I read that in Virtua Tennis you have to calibrate before every shot. How fast or annoying is that?

Cool, the guy pretty much echoed what I was saying. He's right about the career mode of VT utterly ridiculous, but the graphics are really impressive, and fast paced. GS online is much better though. I'll probably be picking up GS again next pay check.

I'm leaning towards VT because I play tennis in real life. Is the online really that bad? Where has this been said?

Well this makes the Games Radar review of very limited value:

"The game’s MotionPlus functions are bound to drastically rewrite these controls, but we weren’t able to test them at the time of reviewing."

I was leaning to VT, and I play tennis too but I love to play online and if its not that good I don't know what to pick?

I can't find any vids of online play in VT so I'm still waiting. Its been out for 6 days here and there are still no vids on youtube.

I also Live in Adelaide, Australia and am shocked that Lleyton Hewitt is not in VT but hes in GST

Im new here, just joined because of this topic...

The most surprising thing is that.... there's only ONE REVIEW on metacritic for the Wii's version!! What the hell is going on??

Haven't played VT but have several hours of GST under my belt.

I really enjoy the game and the online is fantastic (easy to get games, no lag, rankings, etc..., organising an actual tournament, for example a Wimbledon would be great if at all possible). It is just fun and the difficulty appropriate.

Now, the controls I like but strangely enough, you swing before your digital self (I sound like Morpheus). This is very weird when you watch somebody play but oddly enough not a problem (at least for me) when playing. The spins are great (works everytime if you wan to slice or "lift"), I have sometime trouble hitting the ball flat though. One thing I am really having trouble on though is hitting down the line while lifting (backhand or forehand).

I guess I am not much help but wanted to add a positive opinion of GST (though without comparing to VT) while being honest of some of its traits that some could not like.
