The Clay season is so Ridiculously PACKED!!!

[Chauvalito]

Hard court season should be shortened. Such a horrible surface to other players joints. It's a joke that they continue to sacrifice players bodies just because the surface is easier to take care of. I think grass should be the surface they go to as it is just as fast but much easier on the body.

Would that not raise ticket prices?

Don't clayers tend to get alot of health problems associated with long rallies?

Hard courts are hardly easy on the body and are definitely responsible for more injuries in the WTA tour, if not both. But, yes.. grass is by far the best surface because it's soft.

same as in australia, they broadcast the aussie open and some davis cups ties and thats about it, seeing i dont have pay tv i rarely get 2 c any tennis on tv, its ridiculous

Fellow Aussie here,

it sucks, at least we still get wimbledon though you wonder for how much longer . I remember watching the us open on FTA not that long ago but thats no more either.

Be stuffed if Im going to pay $80 per month for fox as thats apparently what you need to spend for decent sports coverage.

Watched some of MC on bet365 which was better quality than a torrent of the same event:???:
