And how do I improve my pc and control settings?

And how do I improve my pc and control settings?

I mean, for example, adjusting screen brightness so you can better see the ball, binding your most used shots to the keys that are the easiest/fastest to access, etc. I repeat, that won't improve your game significantly, but, in my opinion, feeling the need to improve these marginal - but also somehow advanced - things means that you are really committed to improve.

If you didn't feel the need to tweak these things before reading my post, maybe you should improve your game first, don't waste your time. Just be sure that you don't have some input lag or other pc problems limiting your game - there are plenty of methods to do so.

With my button access i feel very comfortable. I feel like in terms of shot selection i am quite good. I already tried many camera angles, brightness of screen,etc so I can see the ball better but nothing did really help.
In terms of those things I felt like I did everything I can.

There are 2 things which I see they seperate me from a top player:
1. They start moving a bit earlier, especially the best seem to start moving in the right direction in the splitsecond i hit the ball. I feel like I probably see the ball later than those guys but can't seem to solve that. I feel like the reaction from when I see where the ball is going to when I move my stick into the right direction is good so the problem here is clearly that I see the direction later.

2. My player starts moving with a lower speed. I tried to use inertia or moving in circles here but i don't really get them working.

I also try to take the court positioning presentastion from C4iLL into account here but this often fails for me already because of the 2 problems mentioned above so I don't have the time to reposition against most players who eventually win vs me then.

Usually top players anticipate shots directions. Because of TE mechanics, it's easier to hit cross court than down the line, especially when you have only a few milliseconds to aim. That's also because C4ill's scheme is particularly effective here on TE, more than in reality.

Other than that, since defense is usually better than attack, there are some directions that are more effective than others, so they will be used more often and are anticipated by more experienced guys.

So they anticipate every shot?

[FEDERER2]

No, they don't just anticipate, they learn to anticipate with years of tough matches, and practicing with cpu. There honestly isn't a way to explain every single movement that is done in this game, sorry. I have 2 points i can give you.

1. If you want to succeed in this game, you have to practice with at least 4-5 practice sets a day, and I barely see you online. Much like real tennis, if you don't play this game in a while (even 3 days messed me up), your form will plummet.

2. Check the delay of the matches that you play, and if it's high, chances are that your aiming and timing are a little off from the high delays.

3. If you cant move well, use power players, i know this isnt suggested, but thats what i've done until i learned how to move at least OK. I suggest you start using Raonic, Janowicz, Berdych, Tsonga, Isner, etc. instead of Hewitt who has no serve or power, only the ability to counter which took me years to learn as well. You may lose close matches with these power players, but you have better opportunities to challenge opponents that are "better" than you.

As long Lleyton Hewitt is still in the game I'll play with him. He is my hero. But going to a player you don't need to move that well with is also no real solution.

I practise nearly every day. Sometimes it is offline. Sometimes I am not on chat while practisimg if you mean that.

[FEDERER2]

I don't see you playing online sets in the lobby. In offline, what cpu level do u practice against?

[Rusty96]

I practice vs master 10 atm.

[inseedious]

I would just add that you don't need to play a lot to improve. As I said more than once, it's more important to play everyday or at least 3-4 times per week and keep it up for months. Honestly, after 2-3 practice sets I don't feel like having the right focus - or just the right wish to play - to really improve. So you can steadily improve even playing 30 mins per day, just be constant. Both offline and online matches are useful: the first ones are good to build up technique and overall game style; the second ones are good to build up tactics and are generally less boring.

tell me your computer hardware please. and try to reinstall the game, i had the same problem like you after i reinstall and change settings my player move faster. sometimes you need the longer way to move faster, if you know the next hit from your oppenent will got to the other side, then you should first move back and then to other side, not directly to other side

[Rusty96]

You reinstalled the game and after your player moves faster?

[shahrukh89]

You reinstalled the game and after your player moves faster?

yes the game was mor liquid

[Rusty96]

I am not sure what should change with reinstallation.

[Rusty96]

Again got double bagled
Just see no way to be competetive.
