Well on all the previous players I've gone 2:1 from the start; but when I say 2 skill for each service, I'm talking about the experience required, not the raw number itself. For example, Mehul is at 122/92. Obviously that's not 2:1, but the xp to get there is -- 7.7k/almost 4k. The theory, in case it isn't clear, is that skill is more valuable unless you can get service for half the price. If you can, train service.

As I briefly mentioned a while ago, I'm doing a bit of an experiment with Dudwadkar though. He's going to train them both up evenly for a while, then when he hits 1.0 service he'll start gradually moving more over into training skill, getting to the 2:1 ratio about the time he hits 3.5 serve, by which point he'll be in the big time. I don't know if this is better or worse but it's worth trying due to how many double faults you cough up as a young player with a crappy serve.
