The truth is that the game is becoming very boring for long time players and/or top ones. Admittedly, I wouldn't have signed up for AO if I didn't have no points to defend - since it's a great chance to gain some useful points.

When too much time passes between two mods, and especially in the first half of the season - when there are plenty of tourneys on slow surfaces - rallies become longer and longer, because everyone is very used to the mod and can defend pretty well. In fact, when a new mod comes out - and last ones are always aimed to make attacking better - rallies are shortened and some veterans come back. It's new air for everyone. After 2-3 months, same old story, everyone adapts to the increased speed of surfaces and/or the additional power, and the game becomes again slower and boring.

Hmm.. I think we need radical changes in the roster. I would say more power and less accuracy, this will make attacking more usefull but also those lineshots would be harder to hit. But yeah without testing we can never be sure.

We need a new tennis game.
To be clear, the fact that I am still winning is my main motive to continue playing. And some matches with other great players are still enjoyable for me.

I hope the tour can still live a long time (or upgrade TE or release new tennis game)
ps. I registered for a long time, but only now started to enter into the taste of the game

This is either an elaborate troll or a rather misleading title/thread.

Not good players are leaving - rather old players are. The ones who played the heck out of this game and simply are waiting for something better.

Nothing "going on" really and we actually have the most active player ever for this time period.
Level 13 Edberg and counting...

richie says : we need a new tennis game
at all of us i say be careful : the australian open 2016 tennis elbow itst is one of biggest success of all the time of the itst tournaments in quantity players terms : it s not sure create a new tennis game gives the same result or worst
and when i see the rank of the players : i see players who have a good rank but not the best have for some them the same behaviour : they leave tennis elbow tournaments
in contrario one guy like pat_ca has stopped itst tournaments while many months before come back
so if some greatest players need a new tennis game i hope we continue this in works actually
