That's a load of baloney. The US Open was once played on green clay, which plays faster than red clay.

Yes, But the reason they switched to hard courts, from what I've read, was that the USTA was sick of seeing S. Americans/Europeans dominate, so they switched to a surface which would give Americans a better chance.

According to the ATP, the reason for getting rid of carpet in favor of hard courts was to lessen injuries, which they said was caused by switching surfaces between tournaments.

I'm sorry. I just had to stop the conversation to laugh because this is the exact same thing people used to complain about when Roger beat everybody all the time.

*headshake* Fans will never be satisfied. :lol:

I know and Federer was no where near as dominating on hardcourts as Nadal on clay.
