Hi Manuu! I'm glad you're back on track and playing your game to check the issues! I still have a request regarding the serve speed:

1. Mpetshi Perricard was averaging 137 mph (221 km/h) on first serve and 122 mph (197 km/h) on his second serve vs Fritz in Wimbledon.
2. Yesterday Alcaraz was averaging 127.1 mph (fastest serve was 137mph)

For Alcaraz to reach an average of 127 mph serve speed in TE4 with your formula, he should get 103 in power without any serve related perks. And 118 in power to Mpetschi. But we're restricted to 100.
So could you introduce a small update focusing on aligning the serve speed to the current racquet technology and serve biomechanics evolutions? A lot of guys now reach around 127 mph in average like Dimitrov, Hurkazc, Zverev, Sinner. I think 100 in power should become 115-120. Thanks again for your work!

(update about serve speed): I didn't see you release an update bumping the serve speed.
The current formula I use is this one to evaluate the power: 0,943401* (Average speed targeted* 1,6093897-95). How should I alter it with your last update?

Hello,

the formula is currently (for km/h), when the Service Consistency is equal to the Service Power :
AvrSpeed = (ServePower * 0.01 * 101 + 100) * 1.017
so :
ServePower = (AvrSpeed / 1.017 - 100) * 100 / 101

So Alcaraz would have 100% in Service Power right now. With the Boom Boom Serve talent, he'd need a bit less.

I won't change that for now.

Hi Manu, thanks for the formula. I think it's definitely better now with the new formula for the serve speed, so it's a good update!

I have a couple of questions related to serve:

1) How much does the Strenght skill impact serve speed and the formula? We can read in the doc that it has an impact but there's no %
2) Do mental skills impact 1st serve %? or stamina? Or even the precision skill?

1) The Strength is mostly for TEM2 and doesn't influence the service speed, but the Service Power potential. I just removed that bit from the TE4 doc.

2) No.
