Serve at full size, and bounce the ball with the free hand

Oliver had the diagnosis exactly right: the raised racket is part of the sprite,
so the toss and smash frames were 29% racket by height — and the game scales a
sprite off its TOTAL height, which shrank the body to fit. Measured 71% body
against the standing frame's 98%. Both are scaled so the BODY lands at standing
size and the racket now extends above the frame instead of squeezing him into it.

The bounce frames are redrawn too: racket in the left hand, right hand empty and
reaching down to the side the game actually drops the ball on, and no ball drawn
into the sprite at all.
