Semi-Pro
Secondly, there are too many clay masters events (3) and no grass events. Because of this, Madrid should be a 500 tournament, as it doesn’t even play like clay; it is way too fast of a surface.
Emilio Sanchez won in Madrid in 1987; in 1987 and 1991, he won in Gstaad (3,440 ft) and 1989 in Kitzbühel (2,500 ft).
Bruguera won in Madrid in 1992. He won three years in succession in Gstaad: 92, 93, 94.
Corretja won in Gstaad in 1998, 2000, and 2002; in 2000, he won in Kitzbühel.
Bruguera said (I can show you the video interview) that it was at altitude where he liked to play the most, and I can say the same about Emilio. Brugs' forehand carried a gigantic amount of action at altitude. One reason he felt so comfortable playing at Roland Garros, by his admission, was because they used lively balls there to attract as many aggressive players as possible, giving them more options to win matches.
Whether you can win on red clay by playing different styles, serving, and volleying, even at RG, is a different question. Emilio Sanchez and Bruguera think that, given the right weather, red clay is a fair surface. Darren Cahill won in Gstaad in 1988.
