Tennis Forever

[JamesDap]

Nadal camp must be seriously trolling out there..........
Melbourne show courts if anything looks slow & bouncier as ever since the plexi has been laid.
Typical Nadal camp trying to give false hopes as if he is going to struggle out there....
Seems to be tailor made conditions for Nadal to get the double career GrandSlam...

If players play over aggressive tennis under the false hope that it's fast, he can save himself some trouble. After all, it IS very hot this year in Australia. Definitely not anywhere near as fast as Brisbane from what I have seen so far. One of the smaller courts looked fast but not Laver or Hisense. Maybe the balls come on a tad faster after bounce than before but nothing that would be difficult for the problem solver.

Speaking of which, if players want to rant against the torrid, 'inhuman' conditions, how about supporting the Tour organisers in moving back to faster courts and lighter balls? Australian summer has always been hot, we just saw the Poms collapse in a heap in the Ashes. But playing slow, heavy balls over long rallies doesn't help. Players can't have everything, they have to compromise somewhere. There was a reason why the spectacle of long rallies used to be reserved for the French summer earlier.
