Heard from a very reliable source: Courts are playing much quicker this yr-not much grit-very unusual for MIAMI, big hitters will like that.
Hab ich mir fast schon gedacht. So Namen wie Dancevic, Roger-Vasselin, Bubka oder Ram sind alle recht komfortabel durch die Quali gegangen.
Meinungen der Spieler
"I instantly felt like I could hit through the ball a little bit more this week. The ball jump as much," said
Roddick. "You're not hitting as many balls above the shoulders. I feel like I can flatten out and take a
rip at some forehands, whereas last week I felt like they were maybe flying a little bit more."
"The conditions here are a little bit slow, so it's very hard to make a winner," said Ivanovic. “I think the
surface is quite slow here,” Radwanska pointed out.
"Here it's difficult to play because of the wind. Serving is not the easiest thing to do. It doesn't play as
fast at night as it does during the day. It's a little bit of a disadvantage for me tonight," said Ljubicic.
"The courts here are quite sticky, so you have to be careful when you're changing direction here," said
Djokovic.

Q. Although Monaco is a clay court specialist mostly, he really seemed to handle himself well on this surface today. What was tough for you today in terms of playing him?
ROGER FEDERER: Um, well, tough was not having played him very often. And then, you know, it being hot and humid
and slow conditions really, I mean, this is as slow as it gets out on the hard court. It's a bit of clay almost except that you can't slide.
And all the clay court specialists such to speak about, they have adapted very well to the hard courts now these days.
Yeah, it was tough playing against him. I thought he played well in the later stages of the first set and then also in the second. But I was able to come through with a crucial first set, which allowed me to have a bit of sort of win from the back sort of feeling. Like I was in the back and could try out a few more things than he could.
I had the one return game which worked well, and was able to serve it out. So it was a good finish for me.

Q. Are the courts playing slower than Indian Wells? Seems like not a lot of winner, cold winners lately.
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, look, I don't know. I feel that both are pretty slow, to be quite honest. It's hard to put balls away, like you say. You have to really set it up perfectly.
It reminds me slightly to clay in terms of how you can construct points. The big serve maybe has a bit more you know, on clay it just gives you a bit more and then you can do the one two punch, one two three punch at times more than on clay.
Other than that, you have to really create the way you play the points. Yeah, I wish it was a bit faster, but it is what it is. It's also a surface I can play my best tennis on, so we'll see how it goes.
