Roger Federer, on the fast pace of the Paris Indoors courts this year: "It's nice that some tournaments have made the courts faster again. I'm not saying it should be the trend for all the tournaments, but indoors is supposed to be faster. We only have one indoor Masters 1000, so I think it should be the fastest one, which is the case.

I guess its considered as outdoors as its only indoors when they close the roof and they only do that when the weather is bad, if i am not wrong.

Could you enlighten rather than expose my ignorance.

Indoor courts are either carpet or hardcourt and the carpet is obviously very fast, and the hardcourts tend to be fast aswell. It could be something to do with the lack of wind etc etc and the temperature inside. It also just depends on how they make the court. But in a general sense indoors is deemed to be faster.

The ball travels through the air quicker indoors. I'm not so sure why exactly but I guess there are no elements that slow down the ball. But I suck at physics so I don't understand this very well.
