Swiss Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Right now my compatriot Federer is playing once more against Nadal but on a... hybrid surface.That's a tennis court half clay, half grass there in Spain.Federer is strong playing on grass, Nadal on clay. In this current match they are playing in their favorite sides but they must rotate their side according the tennis rules.The idea of the hybrid surface was made by an Argentinean.

EatSleepJeep Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Cool idea, but having to switch destroys the novelty of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Nadal beat Federer (bwah!) 7-5, 4-6 and 7-6 (12-10). It was a great game. Hope they will repeat the game on that surface. It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB61 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I wonder if they'll have tournaments on these types of surfaces.I'd personally like to see different parts of the court as different surfaces. But I think that's some sort of... like... 3am homework project deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 They should have split it left/right, as opposed to at the net.

TBGKon Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 They should have split it left/right, as opposed to at the net.Now that would have made it much more challenging. Save it for Nadal v. Federer II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those actually exist, mostly at the College ranks and below. I know Shipley Field at Maryland has an artificial infield and a grass outfield.

Comiskey Park had the inverse of that for a few years in the 1970s, you know, back when baseball was collectively so blitzed that it was studying individual carpet fibers. Never forget.Just in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(though I think the astroturf has been replaced by a "fieldturf" like surface) I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
