Others respond with ‘this is best news ever man!’ and ‘LOOKS AMAZING CAN’T WAIT.’
Although, amongst this is some skepticism from customers of the previous game as they worry that Top Spin 4 ‘looks better.’
Top Spin 4 looks better I'm just gonna be honest after watching some gameplay on YouTube

Some users have taken to critique the characters leg positions too ahead of the upcoming release date.
On the serve of Alcaraz, legs position are not good and the ball is thrown too sideways (Tiafoe too). @topspin2k pic.twitter.com/pnj2wxFSpX
