The 20-time winner of Grand Slams was questioned at the press conference about the change of balls with which he currently plays in tournaments such as the Open de Australia. «The dynamics of the balls since I arrived at the circuit until today has changed completely. When I arrived at the circuit they were balls that took much more spin, more alive; now they are hollower and heavier and do not jump. That favors people who play flat, “he valued.
Nevertheless, Nadal He recalled that his “results have also been very good with this ball”, but considers that “show is lost”. «Tennis is more entertaining when there are more styles of play. The show is lost because it makes us all play in a very similar way and I understand that tennis is more fun when there are different options, “argued the Spaniard.
Too Reef Nadal He has spoken in this line and has assured that he prefers to play during the day than at night in Melbourne. «Especially now with these balls there is a lot of difference. If the balls themselves are not very lively, at night they are much less so, the ball takes much less spin. I think the conditions help me more during the day than at night, as long as I’m playing well,” Nadal said on Wednesday.
“At night, players who hit the ball very flat don’t have any sense of error. However, the court drinks the effect of the ball, it is not alive, so the rivals do not have the feeling of error when they get into the court to hit it, “explained the tennis player from Manacor.
“People mistakenly believe that for players who are specialists on the dirt track, slow conditions are good for us, and it is totally the opposite, a live ball is much better for us than for the ball to fly in the air, that is not dead, because then our ball becomes better. It is not only the effect that our hit has, it is the sensation that the rival has when you hit a live ball with effect, “Nadal analyzed.
«When the rival enters the court to hit the ball, he knows that he has a point of impact, if he does not hit it at that point, the ball is not going to be good or he has many options to miss, it generates doubts. With a dead ball, the rival has many more options to hit because the margin is much greater, you do not need to hit it perfectly for the ball to remain good. This gives a lot of confidence to people who have a more direct and flatter hit, “explained the Spaniard in detail.
