Battle of Surfaces, Modernization Sucks!

Yesterday I saw the weirdest tennis game ever! The Battle of Surfaces, was an encounter between King of Clay Rafael Nadal (world #2) and King of Grass Roger Federer (world #1) on a tennis court which was sliced half clay and half grass!
Federer had never defeated Nadal on a clay court, meanwhile the last have always failed to win on grass against world’s #1. Unfortunately the Spaniard won the match (7-5, 4-6, 7-6), but the legend Roger will always be a legend.
I don’t care how much people loved the event (I loved it too, for a change) but it shouldn’t be repeated or taken into consideration to be an official event. It’s like having a soccer fields cut in half, or to be realistic more, a volleyball court which is a hard surface court on one side and sand on the other.
What happened last night during the tiebreaker in the Battle of Surfaces is that every time Nadal and Federer had to switch sides, they had to stop and change their shoes for the other side of the court. Grazie!
