The King of Clay, Rafael Nadal (who else?), is extremely unhappy about playing the season’s finale on hard court.
Nadal: It’s not fair
The Spanish Legend criticizes the choice of the surface “I am not sure if it is 100 per cent fair that we qualify for the World Tour Finals playing on grass, hard, clay and indoors, and since 2005, when I qualified, it is already 11 years that every single time it was on indoor hard.
I believe that it’s not fair that a player like me really never played on a surface that was a little bit more favourable. I always played on the worst surface possible for me”.
If it’s indoor at the 02, then great, but you can build a different type of surface there. It is a fantastic place to organise the World Tour Finals. The atmosphere is just amazing and I am very happy it is there. I enjoy it every time I have had the chance to be there, but we can play on clay there too”.
Definitely an interesting point, but then Federer may also complain that there are no ATP Master1000 on grass (there are 3 on clay). That’s tennis isn’t it?
