"This calendar I am playing with this surface — hard court surface — is tougher than grass or clay for the body, and all the time we are playing more on this surface," said Nadal.
"In my humble opinion, we have to change that a bit more," the Spaniard said. "I can say that because I won a grand slam on hard (courts)."
Nadal, 22, has previously won four Grand Slams on the French Open clay courts, as well as Wimbledon on grass last year.
"Before if I say that, a lot of people think 'He wants to change because he's a clay player.' But believe me, I don't think anything about if I am a clay court player or not.
"When I say this, I think about the best for the players and for the future. It's not possible to have a lot of injuries on tour like this. So we have to try to change something."
Many are saying he should put up with it like the rest, that he complains too much about the situation.
As for me, I think he deserves his say. What say you, Rafanatics?

Congratulation to Rafa and to the others who fought at this Australia 2009, but only one can win. and be number one. Coming from Serbia, actually Sokobanjt I must admit That I had expected more from Serbian tennis players, but at least Jelena and Ana would play for us at that Federation Cup in Belgrade against Japan on the 7th and 8th of February. Looking forward to watching them.
ReplyDeleteI really like he's standing up for himself and the other players. He is in the player's council for crying out loud, so he should totally have his say!
