The argument is terrible because no one can say that both the games of Nadal and Djokovic doesn't translate to fast courtsand you know we are not comparing current courts. we are comparing current courts with previous ones.
AO is slow too compared to the past

Who was talking about 10 years? I was talking all time. The two are practically the same age.

WHY DO YOU WANT ALL COURTS TO BE SLOWED ?
we have been over this and i am not searching for information that any tennis fan can find (if they want to).
so instead I will just quote this ..
Lots of "delusional"people out there including the International Tennis Federation itself.
"US Open director says courts were purposely slowed down this year
Sep 5, 2018
NEW YORK -- Roger Federer called this "the slowest US Open we've seen in years.''
Turns out that was no accident.
US Open tournament director David Brewer said Wednesday night that the Grand Slam event's hard courts were purposely slowed down "a touch'' in response to players noting in recent years that the surface seemed to be speeding up."

RAONIC ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN WHY WIMBLEDON'S GRASSCOURTS ARE SLOWER
They keep the grass a bit longer and it's softer, so obviously that's going to slow down a ball in its own right," said Raonic.

"I think the [new] surface is a little bit too slow," he [Federer] said. "Everything is already slowing down. Everybody's already complaining that we're playing too much from the baseline. So we'll only see more of that here in Australia, that's for sure."

"The International Tennis Federation has stepped in to counter the power serves of the men's game by introducing three types of balls to be used according to the pace of the surface."
"The introduction of the different balls will slow down the power and speed of serves on hard courts, but speed up the game on slow surfaces, such as clay.
The ITF said the larger type 3 ball flies off the racket at the same speed as a standard ball, but will slow down during flight to give the receiver about 10 percent more reaction time.
It's report said during two years of experimentation, including testing at Davis Cup and Fed Cup ties and men's professional events, the larger ball improved accuracy, allowed for longer rallies at all levels of play and increased ball visibility for players and spectators."
