I've never had a chance to play on grass. How similar is it to an old/slick hard court?

came like a foot off most times and it just really seemed to "slip" off the crass making the shot faster than it really was, if that makes sense.



makes sense. I've only played on hard court so I always wondered what grass was like. I assume the beating it has taken where the brown is makes it that much faster/deceiving ?

What a huge hold of serve there


This place would have exploded if Murray had a chance to serve for the second set.

yea see thats the thing. the courts down at destin were soooo much greener than these at wimbledon after like a week of play.

the grass actually seemed too thick to me, but again I had literally never stepped foot on a grass court so I didn't know what to expect

Peej, is there any player in any sport in the modern era who you think may be the best ever in their sport?

I love Sampras (favorite sports figure for me) and I love agassi. I really really do. Those guys are what got me into tennis. I could see Borg making a case



but federer at his best is the greatest tennis player of all time. I'm pretty confident in that

No, it's not. The comparison is completely absurd. You're not Jimmy the Greek being persecuted for merely speaking truth. No no. You're making an outlandish statement that isn't funny or clever, and is one that only a bigot even thinks to make.

Several people have called you on this. Nobody is going to defend you. So, just stop.

Federer is the greatest.

There is no debate.
