Service 4 is from Cilic!

I think it's Verdasco looks like.

Forehand 5 is Djokovic's.

[J.Crété]

Hmm the service 4 is from djokovic to me .

[kyuuji]

Service and Forehand are from Djokovic
I made a mistake, I didn't clearly saw that :s

[btaylor]

I think that the serve is Djokovic's, not so sure about the forehand...

[cottern9]

I'm pretty sure that the new serve is modeled after Novak Djokovic. Whoever it was based on though, the modifications are amazing and I cannot thank you enough for the work and dedication you put towards this game. Thanks!

[Serena Williams]

both new strikes are from djokovic

[manutoo]

I'm glad to see u almost all guessed it was Djokovic, both for Service & Forehand..!

[beobahn]

So from what real player(s) are inspired the new strike styles in TE2009 v1.0d ..?
New Strikes :
- 1H-Forehand 5
- Service : 4

The new service (nr 4) is by far the most elegant in Tennis Elbow so far. I believe it is the classic serve of legendary Stefan Edberg, in my opinion the most beautiful serve in the history of this sport.

Hi Manu

I noticed one teensy, l'il thing with The Djoke's serve...
When the sprite begins to take the racquet down and back to start his motion, there's this weird sort of super hyper-extended elbow thing going on where his forearm and upper arm bend backward in a rather un-natural almost painful sort of motion...(sorry..only constructive criticism )

Maybe in a future update you might be able to tune or "straighten" this part of his arm...
Other than that, it is awesome!

Also, perhaps in the future it might be nice to mimic some of the "pre-service" characteristics, such as how certain players bounce the ball...because often it's also a very personal and identifiable feature of their style...for instance, Djokovic bends a bit more at the waist and is very deliberate with his bounce (only no need to bounce it 20 or 30 times )
