The best thing that could happen to tennis in 2012 with regards to surfaces is for the newly red clay at Madrid to be the most unmitigated ****-up of all times in terms of playing conditions. The slipperier, the more uneven the bounce the better.
Then at least the powers that be might not be so quick to ditch new ideas before they've had a chance to prove themselves in future.
