Half the clay season in length. Make more grass tournaments. Have French and Wibledon further apart. Or don't even have a French open cause it sucks and there is way 2 many frenchies at it.
Less clay more grass.
I only played on grass, way back when I played. It was awesome.
Clay is just yucky and for europeans.
I often think this, the fact that there are only a couple of prestigious grass tournaments before the hard court season kicks in is criminal. I guess its because apart from the UK there are just not that many grass courts/stadiums around?
The French crowd are great at Rolland Garros, they totally understand tennis, abit like us Brits. Whereas when you go over to America as I did for the US Open, they seem more bothered about eating and talking than watching an extended rally.
I think I've played on clay once, which is fun only because you can slide around and dive without getting hurt. I've played on artificial grass but I think for me hard courts are the best just because of the pace it generates.
