GREEN GRASS OR GREEN CLAY? PLAYERS COMMENT ON "SLOWEST WIMBLEDON EVER"

http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2019/07/green-grass-or-green-clay-players-slowest-wimbledon-ever/83103/

I have been here for 15 years, and every time I am hearing the same – very slow, faster, slower than ever. For a player who is playing very well, they can feel the things perfect. For a player that is not playing that well, they feel slower or too fast because is difficult to find the timing out there. The surface for me is the same as always. I have been playing here since 2003. Honestly, I don’t see a difference. -- Rafael Nadal

NoleΒ  ni kottatam tough ne both Fed and Nadal ki.

Fed has better chances to beat Nadal at semis.

As far I see nadal made few changes in baseline game in last couple of weeks

Both federer and djokovic will feel the difference all depends on how fast they can adjust to it

Nadal is playing almost to the level of djokovic so expecting 4 sets win against federer

After I see federer nadal match I can tell you whose gonna win the final and how far nadal game changed

"For 20 minutes on a practice court on Thursday morning, you could almost hear the Nadal brains trust ticking over as the two-times champion metronomically hit one sliced backhand after another, skimming the net and directed to the corners, where he hopes to pin Federer and force his 37-year-old knees to dip repeatedly on the wearing turf."

Nadal in red hot form with his improved serve and slowing wimbledon court Β conditions. He went deep even last year. Bookies favouring him over Fed.
