By:
always thought the 1985 final was on grass. sure looks like that with that color.
|
|
By:
resolution must have not been very good in 1985.

Can't play on grass in Germany at the end of December.
|
|
By:
so the match that inspired a young caramba to jump over the net as victory celebration (and fall badly on asphalt) was actually on carpet and not grass then.
|

By:
None of the ties hosted by Germany against Sweden were on grass.
|

By:

Sweden always played on clay indoors in December in DC finals, made perfect sense to me that Germany would plant grass indoors in the same month.

By:
I'm not going to destroy your world further by telling you it were reddish carpets.
|
|
By:
no it was clay. That I know of.

Australia often chose grass against you guys.
|
|
By:
India, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and USA have chose grass against Sweden in the history of the Davis Cup. Nobody else likes grass courts.

This innovative event replaced the original Grass Court Championships Berlin scheduled for June, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, “The corona pandemic means a difficult exceptional situation in top tennis. As a patron, I regret that this year’s Grass Court Championships Berlin cannot take place. I am all the more pleased about the bett1ACES as an attractive substitute tournament.” even Angela Merkel was sad that the grass court tournament didn't happen. |

“There was supposed to be a new WTA event in the Steffi Graf Stadium in June this year, and that’s why they put grass inside the stadium. This was to be, from 2020, a premier WTA event on grass,” said Zillig.
“The title sponsor is bett1, which is not a betting company – they produce mattresses! It’s the German word for ‘bed’. They are young and innovative, and they wanted to do something different. They were supposed to be title sponsor of the new WTA grass-court event in Berlin, but of course it couldn’t happen. haha, Zillig doing edy's gimmick. |

By:
bett1 really is a mattress company!

Angelique Kerber was far from home when she first stepped onto the sport’s most hallowed surface. With few grass courts available for practice or play where she grew up, it wasn’t until the German teenager traveled to Great Britain that she played proper lawn tennis at a junior tournament in Roehampton.

Told you Germany has near to no grass courts.
|
|
By:
the likes of Middendorf will never learn how to play on grass at an early age with the pandemic and travel restrictions.
|
|
By:
Grass isn't a difficult surface to play on if you played any other sports on turf and know how to move on it. Just hit&hope.

Just saw the UK Pro League is still playing indoors at the end of April

Munar is very mad now.
|
|
By:
Does he want the heavy, wet balls to destroy Chardy's shoulder beyond repair?
|
|
By:
I think he wanted play suspended, which has just happened. So no.
|
|
By:
Oh ok, wasn't watching. Switched to it after your comment, saw play suspended and thought he was mad about the suspension.
|

By:
Tiafoe and Anderson soldiering on at the same venue. They are not fair-weather-Spaniards like Munar.

The only thing Germans love in connection with grass courts is Federer.
