@mrwhite fuckwit

[DSCAccount]

so they get a..drill...to...o..okay then

[LLaMaooo]

@DSCAccount They drill it to release the air stuck under the court. Pretty much there was a vapour bubble under the court.

[AliasFail]

Squirrel conspiracy!

[Nat4Brendan]

I don't get what the problem is... :\ I can't see a problem with how the ball landed?

[brendan215]

@Nat4Brendan the ball didn't bounce as high it was meant to bounce.

0:43 you can see the kinetic energy of the ball didn't transfer completely with the ground back the ball thus resulting in a lower bounce.

This is what is referred as a "dead spot" in a tennis court.

[Postituwi]

HiSense should be renamed Dead Spot Arena

[davd1986]

He definitely meant to do that...

[JamieOwen05]

happened in sharapova vs goerges match last year but they saw it b4 the match started lol. bounce the ball and it would just stick to the the dead spot

[yatengoyotubi]

i dont think is a temperature problem ...

i think is just the ball quality

ive played at 40 centigrades all day with the same ball and nothing happens

[andrephx90]

@yatengoyotubi It wasn´t the ball. Last year happened the same...the heat affects the plexicushion surface and creates air bubbles underneath it...you drill it...air comes out...back to normal.

[Astana1337]

@yatengoyotubi how could it be ball quality? I ball boy ATP tournaments and all the balls are amazing

[daksa2612]

This happend last year too, Sharapova found a dead spot then :D

[boteng9]

tsonga dont hits the dead spots he makes them

[armandgeist]

And how it was solved? Did they change of court?

[TheFedererNadallover]

@armandgeist nope .. just a few drills and its back to normal :) I wonder whether the point was replayed. . ?

[GermanFootballPlayer]

You lucky Australians! we're freezing here in Germany.

[armandgeist]
