Greek tennis player interview he gave equipment He spoke about his love for clay surfaces, but also why he thinks they bring out the beauty of the sport better.
“This surface allows you to be more creative and approach the game with more strategy than hard courts.
On fast courts the player has to be a machine, not think, and I think tennis isn’t just that.” he said afterwards compared clay courts to an artist’s canvas:
“When a pitch is fast, it’s almost impossible to build something up with a few shots, to have a plan with your shots.
On clay, you can open corners and think about what you’re going to do on the next shot. In short, you can play tactically.
This surface is like an artist’s canvas on which you can paint and bring out all the beauty of this sport. It brings out the most beautiful and purest tennis there can be.”
