    No, hard court.

    Aussie open and US open are on hard court, Wimbledon on grass and Roland Garros on clay.

    actually new surface this year the old hardcourts have been ripped off.

    The Rebound Ace court surface at Melbourne Park has been replaced with Plexicushion and organisers expect the new surface to produce a lower ball bounce and retain less heat.
    So call it a soft court shall we lol.

    They mostly put it in due to the toll of injures on players and how hot the old surfaces got. Players seem happy but wait till players get out on the surface they will be calling for the old one back.:eyebrows:

    Proberly cause of Hewitt as well cause his been complaining year after year but his a wanker of a bloke so i hope it wasent for his sake.

    Federer already got his buttons pushed by that other Serb in the opening rounds. When I woke up today I was like "hey, a new Serb whooping Federer" :D
