@Liu Kang look at her results at her home grand slam :scusthov:
I know. I actually witnessed her lose live in 2009 :beli:
But on the real, Momo was never a clay specialist even if she did won some titles on that. Her style was more fitted to grass and hardcourt (indoor included). For example, she won the Open Gaz de France three times and it's a Parisian tourney (lesser rank but still). I agree that she choked at times because of the pressure but clay was the major factor in her losses at Roland Garros imo.

Oh.. I was riding on the train from Brussels to Dunkerque,, And then even from Dunkerque to Paris. I constantly saw clay courts, in the smallest villages.. I even asked someone if all they play on is clay courts, and they said yeah, they are everywhere.. Maybe they didn't understand what I was asking tho..
They may have understood your question as talking about tennis courts in general maybe...
Regarding the surfaces, clay courts were the norm in the 60s but after the government decided to push tennis as a sport (also because we have one of the 4 majors), they built plenty of courts and they were made of concrete/"quick". New courts are still mostly hardcourts because it's still cheaper and also because it dries fast which is nice when a club doesn't have indoor courts.

I was so close to being done with Serena after today, brehs

We get it, you're sick. It's like she can never be beaten fair and square, Nadal style. Always something wrong, no? But that's what Serena does, she's dramatic about it.

Really thought she was gonna lose, Bacsinszky was relentless (that game she broke in the 2nd set where she jumped on Serena's 2nd serve again and again and again and you thought this time there'd be no comeback) and props to her for reaching a career best place/career high ranking.

Hopefully she can complete the job, she's come this far already.

She is 33 with a very bad cold, possibly flu. Serena always wears her heart on her sleeve. This is who she is.

Novak deserves the title, he just makes the sport boring. But I won't just root against him.

So if it's Novak vs Stan I'll just enjoy, but I would love it to be Novak/Murray vs Tsonga even if it was lopsided, just so I'd have someone to care for in the final. Plus PC atmosphere would be wild and amazing
