Q. Less taxing physically than here last year with him?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Last year was also a big battle. Maybe the court was a bit slower so we played more, I would say, rallies, more exchanges than this year.

Q. Did the faster conditions hurt your chances this year?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: I got used to it. At the start it was of course a little bit different for players to get used to the faster conditions. But after two matches I was ready, feeling well on the court, and comfortable.

So it seems, Rafa was right regarding court speed. :roll:

So Rafa was right regarding court speed, after all. :roll:

If balls are lighter and fly through the court faster which is faster, the court which is said to be unchanged by the tournament director? or the balls which are said to be lighter and faster?

Right. This proves once again how Nadal can't play against big hitters on fast hard courts.

Oh wait....it was Djokovic who lost, right? I keep quiet in that case 8)
