Basically what you'll want to do is pick a character who's a relatively fast runner. (I picked Nadal). Use a short serve so that you'll have time to charge up to the net. Duke usually returns the shot in the opposite direction from where you originally released the serve, but on occasion -- he changes it up and returns it laterally from his position.
You have to be good at doing cross court shots/aiming -- otherwise you'll have a tough battle ahead of you. Basically you want to set up this type of shot in order to force a weak return shot that will end up a high ball. This will be your cue to fire back with a smash point -- which are pretty much guaranteed if executed correctly. I didn't focus on lobs, but if you can't make a powerful return in time, don't be afraid to use slice -- this will get you the opportunity to regain your footing and re-establish your positioning.
Oh, btw -- REALLY helpful tip here for everyone... if you're behind by a few points and don't think you'll win... simply hit the START button and select "Try Again", it will tell you that the progress won't be saved, but all it's going to do is restart the match between you and Duke (or King, if that's who you're facing).
Hope that helps. If anyone has any questions about VT3 - lemme know.
