― NEW IN THIS RELEASE ―――
Changes:
- Acceleration: Heavy Hitter move penalty slightly raised.
- Strike: significantly lowered the precision when hitting an incoming heavily sliced ball.
- Strike: the Short Acceleration Smash must now be slightly charged to get its full speed.
- Strike: Slightly faster Short Acceleration.
- Strike: Slightly faster Normal & Topspin strikes.
- Strike: lowered the speed boost for the Smash from the Baseline when the Smash skill is very high (as the Smash, in this case, is already very powerful).
- AI: the CPU could attempt to do a drop shot when standing very far from the baseline.
Bug Fixes:
- Doubles: fixed a few more situations where the player was stopping to play and other oddities like that.
- AI: big rebalancing of the aggressiveness of the CPU after finding a bad bug at the core of the system ; hopefully, it shouldn't change too much its behavior.
- AI: the CPU wasn't doing slices often enough.

― GAMEPLAY ―――
Tennis Elbow is a series of tennis video games developed by France-based firm Mana Games. Its first version was released in 1996 and as of May 2015 it is currently on its 2013 version, available for Windows, Mac & Linux platforms.
The game is simulation oriented, and is often seen as being the one offering the most realistic tennis experience in term of rallies and tennis sensations.
The most noticeable particularity of its gameplay is that the users have to hold down the strike button till their player actually strikes the ball, unlike most other tennis games that require the users to release the strike button earlier.
After more than 2 years spent in Steam Greenlight, the 2013 version finally got released on Steam on March 13, 2015.
The game is regularly updated and as of July 2018 has seen 10 major updates for the 2013 edition.
The next edition will be called Tennis Elbow 4.
