The reason you see so many Naka's & Cannon's is because they are the strongest characters. Naka's power is equal to almost everyone so he won't be blown off the court. But his return overpowers everyone else's serve (since no one is using bashmasuck anymore). Add a 80+ wing and in the right hands, he's an elite character. Trust me, I know, I used him and got very good results.

But I agree w/ Coke, it got real boring real quick. I've since switched to Bucci & also a one-handed BH. This has really made the game enjoyable again.

It's like I tell my wife about our kitchen & our bedroom.......you gotta change things up to keep it interesting. :-)

Dude, you're a Baghdatis fan, your character should have no muscle & all fat. :lol: :lol:

I love Baghdatis. Great guy on the court, classy guy off the court, hot ass girl. He's very likable. Unlike certain other players who shall remain nameless.

If it's not my boy gonzo, i'm rooting for marcos in every tournament.

either way doesn't matter cause i really have a problem with my serve :cry:.. don't know how to get it right (I don't use L2..R2.. i have a bad timming with those buttons :( )

Played kyuuji on Mutua Madrileña.. and for example 1st set he beat me 6-2 and those 2 games that i won were break of his serve.. almost same in the 2nd (6-3)

bottom line any advice will be very much welcome :D ... im doing something wrong or just need practice practice practice!? :lol:

my advice:PRACTICE,PRACTICE,PRACTICE :!: :!: :!:
at the beginning L2 or R2 on serve.i didn't find the timing.but i practiced a lot offline and i found it.your serve won't be competitive without these buttons...and when u learn to use them,u have to learn to mix your serve.key words to became a good server is MIX :wink:

Estoril MSS Final
coke4 defeats MarlonBrando 6-2 6-3

1st Set: I serve first and he gets 15-40, but i save them and hold. In his next game i get 15-40 and he saves them but i keep coming back and getting more b.p, eventually i break with a BH down the line winner. It goes on serve till 2-5 when i get 30-40 and take it with a passing shot.

2nd Set: Both hold for 1-1, at 1-2 on hiss serve i get a few break points and i take one. After this he playes more aggressive but i manage to serve it out at 5-3 to 15.
