It's different.  As a member of #NoleFam, you should know that with hardcourts, the slide is more consistent and predictable.

With the rain, it was causing the clay to lump up.  After a while, divots would form with bigger chunks forming.  

I think it was Rio last year where they also had heavy rain and a part of the court had started to break.  What they ended up doing was putting several bags of new, dry clay on it to patch the hole.  

Andy moves around the court differently  BETTER, GREATER, STRONGER,  from Nole, so it likely didn't affect him as much. 

Point in the blue taken...Wish I could play one time on clay..

Excellent post SP, TheWindScar31 just doesn't tolerate less than excellence from Nole. Nole needs that kind of motivation.

[h1]Shia LaBeouf to Play Volatile Tennis Player John McEnroe[/h1]

Shia LaBeouf has signed on to play expletive-crazed tennis icon John McEnroe in an upcoming biopic about the rivalry between the star and Swedish tennis great Björn Borg. The film Borg/McEnroe will “trace the long-running battle for supremacy in the tennis world in the 1970s and 1980s” between the men. The top sportsmen faced off during the 1980 Wimbledon Men’s Singles final, where McEnroe was booed by the crowd. They played head to head 14 times between 1978 and 1981. LaBeouf seems like a polarizing enough figure to step into McEnroe’s tennis shoes. Danish filmmaker Janus Metz, behind the documentary Armadillo, will direct the movie.

Sensible decision... bad back + clay... not worth the risk.

Saving it all for Wimbledon? Possible swan song for Fed? 

 

[aepps20]

Excellent decision on his part.

Rafa and Nole drawn in the same half again. We could see Rafa-Fognini in the third round...

Vika-Serena QFs.

 

[Sinner]

Vika in Serena's quarter for the 100th time...

Also... oh well...

 

[The_Isomotion31]

He's all. If Fed's doing it. I'm going to do it too.

Tsonga's shirt is cool.

 

[aepps20]

When did Tsonga part ways with Adidas?

 

[otakuant]

^That's an adidas shirt. Their RG kit is black and white this year.

 

[aepps20]

Great observation, Thank you so much for your help. I knew I didn't hear about them parting ways.

 

[ahuangtoronto]

Adidas x Y-3 for RG kits. I believe this is the second year they've been doing this.
