What category would you guys rate the overall average speed for the Rome Courts? Madrid seemed aster than indian wells and Miami hard courts. Is it just me or is Rome as fast or Madrid?

 

[GazaStripper]

No observations? Some of those games looked very slow...especially the wta games..i am not sure the players were making weak shots or if the court was slow but some players managed to get some balls from this end of the court to the other end that would normally end up being a winner.

I'll reserve judgement until I see how Nadal fares.

 

[Kyrgyros]

Fed is still in the tournament, so lightning speed.

Rome can be quick, it's no coincidence it's the one clay masters Sampras managed to win, but most years it's not. This year? Hard to say, looks about average I guess. Haven't watched any WTA.

Nadal has not been defeated yet, so it's very slow I assume. :devil:

Nargiso said it's quick due to the clay being very 'compact' (he's there commentating)

Jab at me.

Rome usually has a speed similar to Roland Garros.

Slower than Madrid and faster than Monte Carlo.

 

[zjtennis]

It does seems slower than Madrid IMO but for some reason it feels like the balls flies faster in MC than here.

 

[Backhand Smash]

It's faster than Miami.

Slower than Madrid and faster than Monte Carlo.

Monte Carlo uses the exactly same clay and preparation used for FO.

The other day there was someone who was registered since 2002 but only just had his 1st post, it must have been one hell of a reason to come out of the woodwork :lol:

But Monte Carlo is at sea level and Paris isn't.

I guess I'm not a very talkative guy :angel:
But congrats, you got me posting twice in a day :wavey:

Watching the Cilic match vs GGL, it seems slower than Madrid but faster than MC as someone has said already. Decent speed.
