Keyboard, 3d, default cam, mild dynamic, preview on, outdoor hard, have no clue a little from everything, depends on player and my mood- recently I play defensively with some net play, can't say cos i haven't faced most of the tops guys - right now it's alex, 1 year, 700 but more than half is on original mana games so about 300 on ITST

Also it would be interesting to know how much buttons people use. Minus arrow keys of course. I use 7
I started with only 2 but now constantly use 5 and occasionally another 2 (lob/drop).

1. Keyboard
3D
Average
Dynamic
Preview On
% of winners with Llodra = 100% on my service games ; 30% on return
% of winners with a baseliner = 70-80%
Drop = 0% (dropshots = only for weak and no imaginative players in my opinion).
% of cross court accel = 1 out of 3 with a baseliner
Very offensive
Favourite surface : grass by far

Best player : for me the best ever was Fox at US Open. Now Fox is not at this level anymore, it's Florian and VMoe in my opinion because I have far more difficulty against them than against AlexJasmins (who will eat a fresh C4iLL baggel soon).
But the objective results show it's Alex regarding his amazing serie of victories

1)keyboard or pad?
I've been using the pad for years. I've always been amazed how do people play on keyboard. I find it pretty weird and hard to play especially on long matchs. I guess in this story i'm the weirdest cause looks like most of top players are using the keyboard

2)3d or 2d?
Well 2d court are pretty nice to play but i paid the 3d and like that footage so i'm actually using it. Of course it is less detailed and not as pretty as 2d court but i find it pretty cool to play on it and its kind uniform for me, it fits to players who are in 3d.

3)If 3d, close or high camera?
Well i've long time played with the close camera which i think is by default if i'm not mistaken.

4)Dynamic or close camera?
Well once again i played with the default setting which are dynamic for me.

5)Preview errors on or off?
The ITST patch isn't made without previews ?

6)% of winners (short acc-drop-serve-normal acc)?
I would say serve & acceleration. I played long time offensive game, and as most offensive players, we need to get speed into game and hitting good serve helps a lot. Then with acceleration i try to close up the game.
This strategy is kind changing for me, regarding the bad results i had previously.

7)Defensive - Offensive- Mixed?
Well like i said i focused a long time on offensive play.
Actually i think i'm more oriented on a counter style game.

8) Favourite Surface?
Well you may find it kind strange but my favorite surface had been for a while the clay. Simply cause my best performance was on that surface.

If i refer to my previous matchs on the tour, i would say that like most of offensive player, i like fast surface and for me best result was hard were i got pretty good matchs during the US Open

9) Overall best player on Tour?
Well i guess it is definitely Alex with his high perf. Haven't met him, don't know how he plays, but pretty impressive stats. I guess he is the man to take down.

If i consider the players i've face off. Well i would hesitate on Vmoe which i think he is the one who improve the most, C4iLL which i find have somehow a clever game and Cerji who impressed me last time by he strong baseline game.

10) Years of experience of Tennis Elbow
Well don't really know, i remember that i've played on first version Tennis Elbow 2006 with Kyuuji. But i haven't really maintain a stable rythm of play. I played often on some period and had blank period aswell. I was pretty involve for a moment on managames then i suddenly quit the competition and simply played TE occasionally for fun.

Don't have any idea ^^

It seems I am one of the few players wich use gamepad

[eliomelma]

Mmm,after reading the best players kind of winners i am confused. I expected to read more % of short ACC winners because for me that play in this tour since the first test tounament( only 16 draw) i noticed that the evolution of the game follows this non-written rule: Who can use better short acceleration win matches and tournaments, who not , can't win nothing. So didn't expect to read a few players that hit short ACC winners...

Well I set up points with the short accel, and then hit winners at the net or the weaker ball incoming after my short accel.

Yep! Too bad that the game now have the best players who are the players that can hit better short acc. In first three or five months the game was more various, now you can't see a top level player that build the Point without short acc..

[C4iLL]

That's because the shots down the line are far less efficient than they were. But it's also due to the clay, we played a set with Croato on grass yesterday, it was extremely fun with lot of winners from everywhere.

But I don't see why you don't like short accel, it's something that require skill to be played well. One must learn how to play them to reach a good level !
