Very bad surface, too slow for this period of the year, gets very slow as the balls have an accelerated usage too.
Spectators were dreadful especially when a Brazilian played, I've read many comments of tennis fans saying they're now happy Germany dismantled their faces two years ago and kept them quiet, they should learn tennis isn't football.
I, for one, was a Kustavo Guerten when I was a kid and watched him play at big tournaments a few times ( usually lost, was never in Paris ), even that very spectacular match against Pioline and he had screaming fans but there were few, this here crossed the line for tennis.
US Open only a few weeks, and finally Ashe is covered.
