Watching IW's and how difficult it is to even come close to the top four on these courts is just ridiculous. I mean to get close to Roger and Novak on this court the way they were playing this week would take a stupidly ridiculous level of tennis. I know its been a topic that has been heavily discussed over the years of speeding up the court surfaces, but I just feel its gone too far now and the dominance of the top four is too much on these surfaces. They should give the rest of the field at least a chance to compete. It would make the earlier rounds so much more interesting, instead of just waiting for the latter rounds of every tournament to watch the top players be slightly troubled. Tournament organisers need to look at the bigger picture of tournaments and not just to the latter rounds. Everybody loves to see a big match up between the big guns but not every single week, I want to cherish the match ups not become accustomed to them. It must be an absolute nightmare for the lower ranked players coming up against Novak on these courts, there's literally no tactic to go to. It was so nice for a moment to see some fresh winners of big titles with the likes of Cilic and Wawrinka. The strangehold the big four have had on the masters for the past decade has been ridiculous. Just a few new winners every so often would be great for tennis. Grow some balls organisers please
