Saw a little bit of Federer's play this week at Monte Carlo. He's always a treat to watch but it struck me that he's still trying to play hard court tennis on the red clay.
He's chipping and charging, serving and volleying and hitting big shots and following them to the net --all classic hard court tactics.
But these tactics are less successful on clay because his opponents have time to track down his shots and set up to pass. So his winning efficiency goes down .
That's why I think he'll have trouble winning in Paris.
Until next time,
