@jerilee86 they say tennis ball´s have become heavier as well and larry stefanki, said that he think´s the wimbledon slazenger ball, is a ``flippin grape fruit´´:) and of course, as you say, raquet technology is evolving, string technology is evolving, as well. other surfaces have changed.

[jerilee86]

@extradutyfelt1 Yes, you are right, its not that slow. But its not only the courts, the balls have become a lil more puffier, rackets have changed and everything favours the baseliners now. Even then I have to concede that only the best players are winning now. Watch wimbledon before 2001 and now, you ll see the difference. Particularly the finals of 1999, 2000, 2001, 2007, 2008. High quality but there is a hell a lot of changes. Not only at Wimbledon, but also at OZ and US Opens as well.

@jerilee86 yes, apparently this grass doesn´t get, so many irregular bounces, but it´s not as if though, it´s become clay court slow, it still has a certain amount of quickness to it.

[jerilee86]

@extradutyfelt1 Thats right, this grass holds firm and lasts longer than the previous ones. It was also done in order to improve the entertainment value of tennis. It bounces more and more evenly, balls travels slower and does not skid either. This way we had longer rallies. It was a win win situation for organisers who also had more crowds in the coming years. We saw different champions in the last four years. Still, I feel the urge to see someone with the style of Edberg or Becker.

[extradutyfelt1]

@jerilee86 It´s the story I heard as well, they changed the grass just after the 2001 tournament, because the old grass wore out quicker and retained more moisture, from rain and this new grass is thicker and has a longer durability, but it´s slowed thing´s down.

[jerilee86]

@extradutyfelt1 I read an article which said demise of Serve and Volley. They used to use a mix of rye grass and I forgot some other type of grass. Now they use 100 % rye grass which is more firm. They slowed it down first in 2002. Sampras couldn't adjust and lost in the second round to a clay court specialist George Basti, they slowed it again in 2008. Of course still Nadal was the better player in that match. Am saying Federer was not unlucky.

[extradutyfelt1]

@jerilee86 so you´re saying, they slowed down the courts from 2007 to 2008?, if so, could you tell me, where did you happen to get this information from..

I love "-ehi. -ehi." at the end (:-_-:)

[jerilee86]

Federer was not unlucky in 2008, they slowed down the courts and also the ball bounced higher which suits Nadal's style of play more. Still Fedex hung on to push Nadal to 5 sets. Federer was outplayed by sheer grit and never say die attitude of Nadal. If it were played on the same type of courts which was played previous years, Fed would still be king. The way he dominates the year end tournaments like Paris and London stands testimony that he is still king on faster courts

@delicsasa88 You dont want to know who has won the match if you watch videos like that. You just want to see good points, doesn't matter who won them
