    One Note for TMS Madrid

    Historically, these are some of the fastest playing clay courts on tour. Just an FYI when capping these matches.

    I dont get it, clay is supposed to be the slowest of all surfaces, are you talking about pace between clay court tournaments? I thought they used similar clay in most of the tournaments?

    also, mutua madrilena was up to now held indoors which made its courts faster paced, whereas now it is the first year it is played on outdoor courts, so it shouldnt be any different than any other clay court tournament

    despite this, how would a faster paced clay court factor into a game? would it improve on players first serve? and would it be hinderance for players which cannot move fast on the court? its interesting to see your insight on this matter, thank you
