I rank Roland Garros higher than the US Open.
wimbledon is a much slower surface, seeing as how its on grass. roland garros serves up slides, and much quicker bounces. plus the taped lines make for some interesting rebounds
Do you even watch tennis?
Wimbledon > US Open > French Open > Aussie Open.
Just saying...
Do you even watch tennis?
yes i do, alot actually.
well think about it logically, grass absorbs bounces more than a harder surface would, thus ball goes slower. gravel=harder than grass. try playing football on a similar pitch, you'll see. bounces are faster, and less predictable.
and yes, wimbledon is more prestigious, but the tennis, for me, for above reasons, is more exciting at roland garros. personal opinion mate, no need to get touchy (or patriotic)
But, it IS faster on grass, it's just fact.
I don't get how your disagreeing.
I like grass court tennis best I think, because there's a bit more variety, and although the courts are slower now there's still a lot more serve-volley on grass which I like. clay courts are ok but the long rallies from the baseline can get a bit tedious.
hard courts are good, apart from the squeaking
Sharapova is back! Watch out!
Federer vs Hewitt 3rd round.
wha? it says that the next game is in 45min and thats Federer vs Simon Greul
Earlier, 17-year old Melanie Oudin beat Sharapova in 3 sets. In the previous round she beat Dementieva, who was the most in-form hard-court player in the world. Oudin should be winning slams in 2-3 years; apart from the obvious talent she seems extremely tough mentally.
