So you are modding a game without possessing a full version?
Amazing.

Good stuff. Will give feedback soon.

OK, here it goes:

Serve:

Feet. They are not in line, one foot is parallel to the baseline, the other at a 45 degree angle. The Toe of left foot goes off the ground as the back straightens out for serve.
The ball touches the racket at the V before serving, not side of the frame.The left tossing arm goes up first, while racket lags a bit pointing down. (you have both arms going up) The step happens after the toss is complete, not during the toss as you have it.

The preparation. You have the racket and hand separate right away, but if you look closely, there is a small frame where both hands are on the racket going UP...then separating. If is really tiny, but makes it look much better.
The wrist is cocked back more, especially on the forward motion of the forehand and a bit through the hitting zone.
Body rotates a bit more through the shot and a bit after, make that right shoulder point the ball after the shot more.

The Racket head has to go slightly further back by virtue of the wrist being slightly more cocked.
After the racket is all the way back and before it goes forward to hit the ball, there is a slight "loop". It does not go straight into the ball, it makes that loop and at the end of it - contacts the ball.


All in all - Great job!

But djarvik,in the serve,in match Gulbis don't make the ball at the V before serving,he stand up and hold the racquet in front of the body and the racquet is parallel with the ground,like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4VU3nN38zE

Djarvik,you mean this with the backhand:





And this with the forehand:

You right on this one. I guess he changes it up at times. So forget about it.
