Seriously, someone needs to step up already.

But seriously... there is TE4.

I just hope that the gameplay changes significantly though. TBH, I do like Te2013 alot, but we need something even more realistic which in all credit to manutoo, it says here in the previsional te4 planning,

New Features :
- Mainly, TE4 will be built with a new 3D Engine with new 3D players (& likely new 3D courts), and the menus will be reskinned (and partly redesigned), so everything will look much better
- The gameplay will also be deeply retouched to produce an even more realistic experience
- Junior Tour will be added to the World Tour

Edit: I also saw that he put this,

More realism, you said ?
TE3 is based on the principle that basic random errors are annoying. This means that in some situations, the ball must pass the net no matter what.
This is why some accelerations can actually end looking like a dropshot. And if you're into realism, it is actually very shocking.
It's also why so few balls end in the net compared to real life tennis.
TE4 will at least partly drop this base, starting by the acceleration (so no more acceleration-dropshot ), and for extreme (and not so extreme) cases for other shots. It means if you play a difficult ball, it'll often have a chance to end in the net, and/or to end out.
So the rules for imprecision, loss of ball control & faults will be completely re-hauled and this will lead to more realistic variations of the ball trajectories.
Depending of the result, I'll add some optional helpers and/or simplified control systems so it will still be easy to get into the game, and you'll raise the difficulty and/or remove helpers as long as you'll improve, like it is now with TE3.

So if you want an early taste of TE4, follow development of TEM2 next year, especially during the beta tests where I'll be asking for your opinion about the improved realism.

God i'd love a new tennis game. Kind of ridiculous there isn't one 3 years into the console cycle.

I just find it annoying as if you were to combine some elements of TS3 with some elements of TS4 you'd have a really good game, gives a feeling of being really close to a good game while just missing out.

Just anything honestly, something that can at least resemble the gameplay of a tennis match.

According to a guy on a french forum who has a friend in the game industry in LA, they are working on something huge for top spin 5. But it was in october 2014, and still no news since... And no proofs if it's true or not...

Big Ant who makes niche sports games like Rugby, Cricket etc. is now doing a Tennis game and it is due to be released sometime in 2017. They normally release their games for PC and consoles.

Here is the link for the article with CEO of Big Ant...long article but midway through he discusses them doing tennis.

Word is Big Ant Studios are releasing a tennis game this summer. They are behind the highly regarded Don Bradman Cricket games, which is a great simulator so I have high hopes!
