Pretty good, but has some flaws.

Sega Superstars Tennis delivers in many areas, but it has some flaws. For what it is, Superstars Tennis does a great job of delivering fan service to...well, the fans. With over 16 characters and almost as many courts, SST brings on a wave of nostalgia for people who grew up on SEGA's games. The controls are air-tight, except when you use the motion-sensing, but button controls are perfect.
Every character can let out a "Superstar Shot" to help give them the edge. They have a myriad of effects, and can frequently be the turn of the tide in a match-up.
The game's only real problems are it's lack of online multiplayer and the fact that the minigames aren't exactly a lot of fun if you don't have multiple people playing.
But SEGA delivers where it counts, with on-the-spot tennis game play, with a touch of Mario Tennis, and a heaping helping of fan service that's sure to give you a wave of nostalgia. The graphics are also pretty sweet.
It's a solid tennis game, but without multi-player online, which is standard in most games these days, and a lack of fun One-Player minigames, it loses some points.
