Summary of an interview with Mardy Fish re: court speed:
Q. How do you feel about the court speed here? Roger Federer last night compared it to a clay court. He said you can’t slide. That’s the only difference. Isn’t it strange that all these hard courts are playing so slow?
MARDY FISH: Yeah, I would assume to be honest, the difference between night and day playing here is night and day. Even in Indian Wells when you can play during the day and you can play in the heat it plays pretty quickly, I think. I mean, not quickly, but I mean, it plays you know, you can use your serve a little bit. You can get free points. You can play aggressive tennis during the day. I haven’t played at night here. I’ve requested to play during the day every single match, and thankfully they’ve given me that. I just know that it’s extremely slow at night. You know, the humidity drops a little bit, the temperature drops a little bit, and the balls get pretty big. Yeah, I mean, it’s frustrating because you want some big tournaments to be on faster surfaces, and there just isn’t any.
... Another daytime game for Fish - so faster court speed to his advantage, but I still think Ferrer is the fitter (he´s breezed through his games here so far) of the two and has the patience/shots to wear Fish down.

I would have loved to play ferrer on the moneyline when he was at -165 but now at -205 the value is gone.

Fish stepped it up....he was in a pretty big slump before this. Nice win for him.
