We are better. Much better then WT guys. :wink:

How well you placing your serve? Are you hitting the lines?

I use Nakamura with 64 serve, and I rarely get "return winners" against me. Now and then - yes.....but never consistently, never enough to break. If I get broken, it is always because of my mistakes and opponent capitalizing on them. Just like in real tennis.

BTW - there was a match recently, in ATP (Final), Gulbis VS Karlovic. You do know Karlovic the big server right? ....well, Gulbis was sorta risk returning all his serves, just like in TS3.....when Karlovic placed it bad, he would get punished with a winner.

So I say definitely improve your placement. Speed means nothing. I am getting 107mph Aces with Nakamura....when placed right, ANY speed serve can do enough damage.

Hope it helps man.
Level 13 Edberg and counting...

First of all, no one is cheating. I agree it's totally lame to risk return every single serve, but still incorrect to call it cheating.
As djarvik hinted, it's not the pace but the placement that gets you in trouble. We've played a lot recently, and I don't recall you ever hitting a 'fantastic' serve. Plenty of decent and some very good ones, but you're not ever hitting lines.
And ITST is way better than WT. I've been on at a good hour recently, where I'm lucky to run into you, BillVal, Rob, and an assortment of other ITST guys in WT quick play. Hardly anyone cheesing at 7-9AM CET. But whenever I play earlier in the day I see nothing but the same shit from 2 years ago: people serving from tramlines, returning with double risk slices from inside the baseline, etc. and of course they all have 3-4 red stats.
