- Fixed a rare crash during the loading of a match
- Fixed a bug that could make the League leaderboard appear empty.
- Fixed the League leaderboard when displaying the wrong league after a promotion or relegation.
- Fixed the display of Japanese characters on the leaderboard.
- Improved ball collision detection around the court.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when resetting game data with an exhibition tournament in progress, then creating a tournament again.

- Minor interface and texts changes.
Misc
- Added the gender information when receiving an outfit as a gift
Please note: in the previous patch notes, we listed that new rackets were available for custom characters. This change was not correctly applied last patch, and the missing items have been reintroduced this patch.
