He is supernatural in TS4!!! :shock: You just have to return his first serves as best as you can, and stop him from sending you wide.

Yea, when given room he has a wicked and accurate forehand.

Been playing some doubles lately. Doubles can be great fun but I find it incredibly hard to beat my opponents when they are at the net. Wish I could whip the ball lower and drop it just over the net. It also doesn't help that your partner doesn't seem to want to win the point and doesn't like to hit the ball towards the open areas of the court :?

Love this game :)

That's it. Its the number 1 problem with doubles. Your CPU partner expects you to win the point everytime. Annoying. I find doubles too hectic for my liking. Its like playing pinball on occasions.

Got beat by Djokovic again today. One set each and the sod beat me 31-29 in the tie break :twisted: I even put on a new Fila shirt, shorts and trainers before the game but they didn't help :( :)

31-29?!!! That must have been epic. The longest tiebreak I've had is 26-24 (to me). :D

Is it just me or do you take deep breaths and / or move your neck from side to side to relieve soreness, before an important point? :lol:

Its a great game isn't it? I stopped playing for a month and tried to go back this week. Never even won a point in the whole match. But I'm determined to get to that level again. I was a beast!!!

thinking about buying this game, had topspin 3 and enjoyed it but it could have been a lot better. From what you guys are saying it has improved a lot. Think i may buy this week.

If you enjoyed Top Sin 3 you'll definitely like this. There are niggles but overall it plays a great game of tennis when your in the mood.

Played TS4 for the first time last night. Much better than 3 so far but far far easier. Was only playing on normal but won 6-0 6-0. Will push up the difficulty after finishing the school thing today and see what happens.

Just out of curiosity, what camera angle do you guys use? Of late, I'm constantly switching between TV (medium) and TV Close :?

TV Medium. Its great if you need to move and play well behind the base-line or go out wide (I mean really out wide) :D .
