[Roadmap]

Speed up the courts? Negatively affect Nadull's chances of winning more slams? More chance of the dinosaurs being resurrected.

So true

Federer admitted he struggled to adjust to the slow pace of the Flushing Meadows courts this year.

"It's just unfortunate maybe that all the slams are too equal," he said. "This should feel very different to the Australian Open and it doesn't. I don't think it's really what tennis needs."

Roger Federer eased into the second round then complained the court speed at the US Open this year is too similar to that at the Australian Open.

"It's definitely slower," five-time champion Federer said of the Arthur Ashe stadium surface after his 6-4 6-3 6-2 victory over Colombian Santiago Giraldo.

"It takes some getting used to."

"The issue for me is maybe did they make a mistake? Maybe they did paint the court a bit too rough.

This.

Pretty sad when the fastest slam these days seems to be on clay.

it's extremely funny and ironic that federina the ultimate beneficiary of homogenization and slow surfaces is now, after all the 16 slams he won, whining about the slowness of courts......

this is just downright sore loser attitude and pathetic attempt to degrade his peers to make himself look better......

Looks fine and fast to me..

Career Slam is not what it used to be.

The beneficiary is Nadal. The biggest loser of the reduction of court speeds in Federer. He could have had *at least* 2 additional slams in 08 and 09 if the courts were not slowed.

Nole and Nadal benefit the most from this.

Its pathetic what they have done to the US OPEN. RG now stands as the fastest GS surface hence the Babolat balls they used.

[Benny_Maths]

It's a shame if they really did intentionally slow down the courts. The US Open was unique in the way that it rewarded players who took controlled but aggresive risks with their shots.

Which just shows what an absolute joke Roland Garros has become.
