so far you have provided, serena and nadals opinions, federer is more upset about the process being used to make the court blue. (since i do hate serena, her words mean nothing to me but with nadal i think its all about what hes used to and his winning streak)
opinions of yourself such as
its ugly, it doesnt match the landscape (which isnt true at all), it breaks tradition (which this being a new tourney cant break tradition) what did i miss? o yeah you also said it played differently, which science itself disagrees with according to the tournament sponsors asking for the change. on this one as with most you are not worth debating with, you are the most hardheaded person on these forums and you do NOT care for the game as a whole, only nadal.
i gave reasons for the sport, not for color coordination.

What do you mean the landscape thing is not true? Have you ever been to any mediterranean country? + reddish is the natural color of the earth. Anyway I know my arguments didn't convince you, too bad, yours didn't convince me either. There is no reason to change the color of clay, none, but every reason to just keep it the way it is.

She takes care of his schedule and even helped him out with press matters( like scheduling interviews etc) for a long time.She's been with him since he had 0 titles.And it was Roger who asked her to accompany him after a permanent injury screwed her career.Its just the glamour you guys see.She did a lot for him.He was pretty much a nobody when they started dating and remained a nobody for a long time after that.Its just these recent years you bothered to notice.He likes her to be with him.So whats your problem? Really..pathetic.:roll:

after 5 years of living together in the US you can gain alimony upon break up, but im unsure of the laws in spain governing this issue.

you havent been reading my posts have you? i visited there 4 years ago, alot of the buildings are BLUE in the residential areas. took my wife there for our anniversary. most of the city scape is grey stone though, i cannot remember many if any that were brick as you stated though. as for the dirt itself, well in madrid its not even visible anywhere.
i did agree that alot of the roofs were red tho.

Whats disgusting? Mirka has the best job in the world all she does is stay in 5 star hotels eat expensive room service and watch tennis heck if Fed asked me I'd do that no problem aslong as I didn't have to sleep next to him.

I don't know in the US. I know in France unless you make a formal declaration of "concubinage" (meaning living as a couple without being married), you're not entitled to anything + as far as I know they don't live together yet.

I dont understand why Fed is too stubborn to hire a coach who can actually TURN HIS GAME AROUND, yet he will have some broad traveling with him, managing his money (Like that is real bright, having a woman manage your money), gobbling up 5 star meals along with his dough, sleeping in 5 star hotels etc.
There is something seriously wrong with that equation. And its a big reason why Fed is in the position he is in. Lost his Number 1 ranking, hasnt even won a tournament this year etc. Keep the chick at home.. And get yourself a coach. How dumb can u be? Hes on the threshold of establishing greatness. Yet he is doing these things? He may not have many more chances. He needs the french and the slam record before its too late. Hes not getting any younger and everything is slipping from his fingers.
Dont u think a change for Fed needs to be made? I do. If he continues on this route.. Its all over for him

correct me if I'm wrong since speaking French with students of my level and trying to understand a natvie French speaker are two different things and I often forget meanings when I get..er..little nervous or when I'm in the company of someone well educated in the language / fluent .

yeah me to, but i personally would eventually get home sick. i cant hardly stand leaving the area for more than 2 weeks at a time, but my job forces me to travel a ton. i used to love seeing all the new places but now sometimes i just wanna throw my feet up and stay home, ya know.

that gimmick im so concerned about is in hopes that we can eventually watch more tennis on tv because of it, nothing more, nothing less. personally i dont wanna see nadal go down, i wanna see him eclipse borg on clay, i do wanna see djokovic take some clay titles though, but i do NOT ever pull agaisnt nadal on clay. you see, unlike many on here im neither a fed nor nadal fan by heart, i just enjoy watching them play tennis. i always like the ones who are not on top of the game. right now my favs are nole, roddick, monfils, isner and verdasco. i only hate one tennis player in todays game, serena williams. so dont read more into what im saying than what i am actually saying.

No I think you need to shut up.He manages his own financial affairs and he is helped by his parents not Mirka.
As for a coach Severin Luthi may not be all too reputed but he's been with Roger quite sometime.
Its amazing how classless posters can be..even joking about someone's personal life is disgusting.Mind your own business.

I think its way too late for french open those chances were out of the window back in 06 as for federer winning slams yes he needs a coach but his arrogance is from a build up of him being the best player in the world and he still till this day believes he's the best player on tour, well if he plays his best then i don't see anybody beating him e.g (US open 2008)
If Federer just opened his ears and just take in all that advise he would have had about 16 slams by now.

Actually we are providing some meaningful insight here on what Fed should do. There is no a reason to have Mirka flying around with u everywhere when obviously SHE ISNT HELPING HIS CHANCES any better. Fed has won 0 TOURNEYS THIS YEAR!!. Thats not Fedlike right there. Fed has been in long need of a coach for quite a long time. And I agree with the poster saying, Fed truly believes he is still the best. Hes in a bit of denial it seems. It doesnt look like he has been working on his game at all, his focus isnt there, and he things he can just walk on a court and win today. Thats far from the case. He cant just do that he used to do. The competition on top has become much tougher. A change needs to be made for Fed. Its pretty pathetic this has to come from outside tennis fans. He should realize this himself when you look at whats happening to him.

He can do what he wants with his personal life.No need to take potshots at Mirka.Rest of your post is fine with me regardless of whether I agree or not.
Humans have been baking bricks for thousands of years, and they've always had a color ranging from yellowish to red, without adding any colorants. That's the color that comes out after baking the materials. That's why adobe buildings are reddish. The fact that in some brick-making processes colorants are added today means squat. How many blue-brick buldings and monuments do you know? They are all on the pink-red-orange-brown side of the spectrum. The vast majority of them are not colored at all.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick
[...] The fired colour of clay bricks is influenced by the chemical and mineral content of raw materials, the firing temperature and the atmosphere in the kiln. For example pink coloured bricks are the result of a high iron content, white or yellow bricks have a higher lime content. Most bricks burn to various red hues, if the temperature is increased the colour moves through dark red, purple and then to brown or grey at around 1300 °C. [...]
Blue clay looks revolting to most people's taste. But not to all, from what I can see. I once watched a movie involving a wedding in an American middle class family who wanted to impress their guests at all costs. The catering service recommended, among other horrors, blue mashed potatoes. So they served blue mashed potatoes, and both the groom and the bride and their families were extremely proud of their cutting-edge coup.

i can see your understanding in this thread, its readable and knowledgable and provides links to back up your argument. this is all ive been asking for, but what im saying is if making the bricks blue can be proven to not change the way the ball bounces or plays, and the fact it just MIGHT bring in a few more fans and revenues, would it not be worth trying just once for arguments sake?

id love to see a youtube clip of someone playing on the court. i wanna see if it helps track the ball and bounces more clearly. i honestly do have problems tracking the ball on red clay, not particularly the path of the ball but its bounce point always looks different than its actual bounce spot.

I would love too as well, but it looks as if the lines fade easily but then the court looks a bit sloppy I am wondering if it is just really rushed.
