Card description
When it's Plants vs. Zombies, the score is never love-love.

With
With her low cost of brains and the boost of strength given, this card is suitable to be used during the early turns, where fewer plants are present. If possible, use tricks that boost both strength and health, as more damage can be dealt.

In the later turns, if it is the turn for zombie tricks and there is a column available to attack the plant hero, or a newly played plant card you want to target, use Teleport combined with Tennis Champ. Furthermore, you do not need to save up more than two brains for this strategy.

If the Tennis Champ survived a turn, Mixed-Up Gravedigger or In-Crypted can be used to buff it again to a 4/1.

As Impfinity, when you first play this zombie, you can use Smoke Bomb, and move her into an empty lane(or a lane with a powerful plant in it), making her a 5/1. Although if you want to damage the hero more, Mini-Ninja would be a better option.

Against
Keep in mind that her biggest downside is her base health, which is 1, as it does not increase without the use of zombie tricks or fighters, and that the strength boost wears off the next turn. Due to this, use freeze cards such as or Big Chill on her, as it will stop her from dealing a high amount of damage to your plants. Cheap plants such as or Admiral Navy Bean can destroy the Tennis Champ for a low sun cost. Plants with splash damage, such as, , or can destroy her without needing to be in the same lane as her. You may also use tricks such as Weed Whack or Scorched Earth.
