it'll have the delay to reach the opponent PC.
If it's 100ms (ie: about 200ms ping), then the game will be a 
unplayable nightmare.
If you don't send 60 packets / s, then you don't have enough thing to 
predict correctly where the ball will go after the hit, so prediction 
will be more wrong more often and longer.
100ms on a good tennis strike = about 4 meters traveller by the ball 
just after the strike (tennis court length = 22 meters)
