Kyle Cooper really does a great job in cleverly designing the sound effects, music and text to work together. The music in the background is happy and uplifting guitar music, which continues throughout the opening sequence, later accompanied by drums and subtle vocals harmonising. But there is also the sound effects of a tennis ball being hit back and forth, and every time the sound effect plays, a new title or credit appears, and this works really well and goes well with the theme of tennis in the film, as it is as if the titles are being hit from one side of the screen to the other, like a tennis ball.
The sequence is mostly composed of pictures being shown after each other in a stop motion fashion, for example it is used to show the audience looking from side to side following the ball. There are also a few short clips that are repeated each time the tennis ball sound effect is played.
Overall, the sequence provides a good and interestingly constructed introduction to the film.
