What the hell do you have to do to get the damn AI to return your serves properly—or at least decently? It’s not normal for Shelton to return 13 balls right at my feet in a single 6-2 set! And even hitting 190 km/h, how the hell are you supposed to adjust this without getting crushed by winners?

Hey guys! Do you think that after the US Open—maybe in two or three weeks—they’ll give us an update with new uniforms? That’s the sort of thing they’ve been doing, so we might get Alcaraz’s kits, among others—and while I’m at it, why not ask for a new face model for Carlitos? I remember Lehecka got a face update not too long ago.

Hi, I’m going to talk about an interesting match I played today—one where I went from being thrilled to feeling totally frustrated. I played as Taro Daniel against Shapovalov on clay. Shapovalov is a baseliner—meaning he’s one of the toughest types of players to face in the game; harder than Alcaraz, harder than Sinner, harder than anyone else. That’s a proven fact! I got off to a spectacular start, winning the first set 6-0 with 7 winners to his 2, and 6 unforced errors to his 18—it was surprisingly perfect. I expected to see the "best version" of Shapo crush me in the second set, but that didn't happen at all; in fact, at one point I was leading 4-1! The victory was right there in my grasp. But from that moment on, Shapo completely transformed. I ended up losing that set—which I’d had in the palm of my hand—6-7 in the tie-break. And the tie-break score? I lost it 7-0. I couldn't believe it.

Frustrated with the situation, I played the third set but lost 6-2 anyway. The AI ended up with 28 winners and 55 unforced errors. My numbers were very similar. I’ll keep saying it: there’s a poorly implemented imbalance where playstyle matters more than the player's actual rating. I’ve played against Sinner, Alcaraz, Federer, and Djokovic, and I beat them relatively easily—especially Sinner and Alcaraz. On top of that, they don't hit aces; even an average player downloaded from the Academy might hit 10 or 11 aces against me, whereas Sinner hits maybe one, two, or three if I'm lucky—and sometimes he hits weak shots. Like I said: Alcaraz, Sinner, and Zverev are very easy.

Medvedev, Shelton, and I think Djokovic are tough to beat, but you can win.

Speed-based players? easy.

Shapo, Fritz, Perricar, Lehecka... they are incredibly difficult. There is a massive, exaggerated gap between that group and the easy ones.

That’s why I tweak things every few matches, trying to find the best slider settings.

Medvedev, Shelton, and I think Djokovic are tough to beat, but you can win.

Does anyone know what this type of update includes? We've had another one...

Could someone tell me what the rankings were for Federer, Nadal, Del Potro, Isner, etc., that determined the ratings they have in the game?

Is fatigue actually noticeable during matches? Does anyone have the best settings for this?

I've noticed that when you go to play a tournament, there are different difficulty levels available. I play on "Custom," so does playing on "Custom" activate the sliders I have set in the difficulty configuration? Is that how it works? Thanks.

Yesterday I went to play a match—specifically on the Stuttgart court—and I noticed right away that my player wasn't just running, he was flying; he felt almost uncontrollable... I quit the match, tried a different court, and things went back to normal. There are some courts where, for some reason, the view looks a bit closer or further away with the same camera setting—could that be a factor? I don't know (kind of like in FIFA 🤣🤣). Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I need to know how to serve with Sinner; I barely manage 2 or 3 aces... I always aim the same way, but it feels like every serve comes out differently. I can hit 15 aces with other players, but with Sinner, I don't know what's going on.

How is it possible that Alcaraz—and I think Sinner too—can't keep a single ball in play, especially when returning your serve? You play against a player rated 80 and *they* manage to keep the ball in play; what the hell is going on with the two best tennis players in the world? It completely ruins the immersion in the match.

Before a patch or two—if I recall correctly—Shelton didn't step onto the court when serving (like what happened with Alcaraz); can anyone confirm? And I hope they fix it, because trying to return serve is absolute shit!

I have a problem: the AI insists on hitting my serves out—some don't even reach 200 km/h, depending on the player—and I've actually won games just because they keep returning the ball out of bounds. It’s a bit frustrating because I don't know what else to tweak to balance the game, and there isn't a specific setting for AI return quality—well, actually there is, and I have it set to "Legend." If anyone else is experiencing this, please leave a comment. Thanks.

So, is there a logo creator out there who could give me a hand? I'm unable to create something as simple as a word; I've only managed to change the colors of a couple of community logos. I'm recreating the Arizona Challenger, and I want to put "PHOENIX" on the courts. If anyone knows how, I'd appreciate the help.

Hi, can anyone help me? Which slider should I adjust so that the AI tries to return my serves better?

Hi there. I’m playing custom matches with sliders, and I’ve noticed the level of play is higher than what I was used to in Hard mode. I’ve faced various counter-puncher-style players—who are the toughest for me to beat—and they all play the same way: staying at the baseline, hitting very powerful, deep shots, and trying to wear you down. Just when you think they won't hit it any harder, they place the ball right on the line. But today I played against I was playing against Kyrgios, and he kept hitting nothing but slices—which are, for me at least, a total nightmare; every slice he hits is a point for him, and I return them terribly... The question is, when playing on higher difficulties, does the CPU abandon its default playstyle, or is this just an isolated case?
