The last time they changed the composition of the grass at Wimbledon was in 2001... It was only after this slowdown that Federer was able to win his titles
That hasn't changed since. But with every Wimbledon title Djoker wins, the grass becomes slower and slower in the minds of Fedfans
Oh so 18-19 year old Federer was struggling to win Wimbledon's because the court was too fast, and then on the slow court he lost in the first round the first year and then what had to change for him to win it in 2003? You're a funny funny guy.
The grass has clearly slowed over the years, watch matches from 03-04 and compare now. 03-04 wasn't 90's fast but still quite fast. It's not even debateable that the grass slowed further from 2001. Grass was fairly fast 03-04, slowed further in 05, then again around 08. Sped back up a little for 12-13 maybe to help Murray and maybe the roof helped too, I don't know, and has gotten back to 09-11 levels ever since. Two identical Federer 123 mph first serves
Court 1 today is still fairly quick but center court for some reason is super slow. It has nothing to do with Djokovic. When Federer played his 4R match against Agut on center and QF match against Simon on Court 1 the difference was striking. There are many ways to make a court play slower without them publicly acknowledging that they changed the composition
