On May 2nd Federer and Nadal played on a special tennis court. One side is clay the other is grass. Sounds interesting...
And we don't have a sports section, but this is geekfest.... :)
"The hybrid court at the Palma Arena gave a clear advantage to the player on the clay side, who enjoyed the benefit of a slower, higher bounce allowing him to attack the ball and pick his shots more carefully.
Nadal used his peerless skills on clay to maximum benefit as Federer struggled to adapt in the first set and although the Swiss took the second, he then used his characteristic tenacity to take the decider on a tie-break to the delight of his home crowd."
