Aging players forced out of retirement to play against youngsters. Hardly fair

Three 'legendary' sporting players are to feature in the Top Spin 3 player line-up, the whole of which publisher 2K Sports confirmed today.

Boris Becker, Bjorn Borg and Monica Seles will be pitted against younger sensations Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova. It's as if someone's just watched the Then and Now bit of Rocky Balboa and thought it would make a good game.

Unfortunately, these classic legends won't be available on all platforms for some reason. Rafael Nadal fans might also be disappointed to know they'll need a PlayStation 3 to play as him - he's exclusive to the Sony platform.

Here's the full line-up:

Mario Ancic
Tomas Berdych
James Blake
Roger Federer
Tommy Haas
Justine Henin
Svetlana Kuznetsova
Amelie Mauresmo
Gael Monfils
Andy Murray
Rafael Nadal
David Nalbandian
Mark Philippoussis
Andy Roddick
Maria Sharapova
Nicole Vaidisova
Caroline Wozniacki
Boris Becker
Bjorn Borg
Monica Seles
