This clay court seems slower and more bouncy this year


Just perfect for Nadal's lefty spin shots to drive players up the wall.
if Federer plays Nadal again here in the final and wins that will be
impressive.

Is that all you've got to say? No conspiracy theories about Nadal-tailored
conditions?

what's there to say that has not been said ?

nadal only wins because he cheats and the sport authority allows him
to get away with it.

if they enforced the rules of the sport Fed would have a 15-0 h2h
against him and 3 FO's to boot.

it doesn't take a genius to figure that out either.

What cheating, time violations? Everyone, including Federer on
occasion, gets away with that.

15-0 huh? The world as you want it to be and the world as it is are
two very different things.

Yes, time violations. Rubbing out ball marks , not showing up when the
umpire calls time and other things. Fed does not play those games.

Nadal is not capable of playing by the rules, If Nadal had to play by
the rules he would lose.

The conditions haven't gotten hot like previous years, which would
bake the clay and make it faster.

Nevertheless, this is still a fast clay court tournament because of
the altitude (air is thinner).
