I know you're trolling but I thought this was interesting so just FYI:
The Roland Garros stadium will be completely rebuilt in 2015.
The city of Paris owns the stadium and the French Tennis Federation has been lobbying hard for years for a better venue for the French Open (even threatened to go away from Paris).
The problem is that Roland Garros is by far the smallest venue of any of the Grand Slam tournaments. They simply do not have the room to improve gradually (ie build a new center court and then demolish the existing one and build something else in its place and so on). A partial modernization of the existing central court would be throwing money away since it needs a complete rebuilt and not just refurbishing because it is simply too outdated.
Even the new courts in 2015 may not have roofs (or may not be used during the grand slam) because the changing conditions of the play due to the humidity of the clay are part of the characteristics of the game. Players have to change and adapt to the surface constantly over a 4 hours match even if weather conditions are stable. This is what completely messed up Nadal's game today (although the changing conditions today were exceptionally strong - I was surprised they didn't call it a day earlier).
When Sasha was mentioned during the match, I knew that someone on ST would ask this question.
Don't let the pic fool you.. Put those 2 in a cage and Rafa murders Gasol.. Rafa is a lion and Pau is well..
SOFT!!!
C'mon Rafa.
I have no problem with Nadal's win, but I was rooting for a fifth set.
Nah. Nadal would've been ed in the 5th set.
the delay crashed Nole's momentum...
