yes but they are TOO slow, they have gone too far the other way, just like really fast courts were a dull, really slow courts are dull
how is it too slow? seriously. we have to be objective about this. every player still has the ability to put away the point when they get the chance to, even on clay. this isn't the case if you look at clay court tennis of the 70s and 80s. that was really a battle of attrition. but look at the FO of modern days. i see plenty of baseline battles, but i also see that every player has the ability to put away the ball when the opportunity arise.
look at the USO even. i see plenty of fabulous winners struck by players. there's really long rallies as well, but it is ridiculous to suggest that players are not able to strike winners anymore and it is just an unforced errors fest. that is simply preposterous.
