if federer is maybe a bit slower than in the old days..then slower courts, if the ball isnt skidding through, gives him a split second longer to reach that shot, where if the court was lightning quick as he is a bit slower..he wouldnt have as much time to get there and lose the point..
i can see that slower courts might mean longer rallies and matches, but an attacking player can 'use his tools' to try and win the points earlier,
its not as if in the old days on super fast grass and hardcourts we had many major winners in the 30s more than today..
tennis was seen as a young players game back when courts were fast, thats changed a bit now..so i agree with me :neutral:.
people say the tour is getting 'older'..so maybe slower courts are actually helping players rather than hindering them.
