Madrid's Tennis Tournament Doesn't Exist in My World

You may or may not have noticed that I have written nothing from Madrid.

This is the only post I'll make - tho I may acknowledge the winners tomorrow.

Before this thing even started I thought it was a joke.

How is this "The Road to Road Garros"?

Isn't it the idea to prepare the players for the big show in Paris?

I formed this opinion long before Rafa & Nole lost - this is not sour grapes.

Can you imagine changing the surface in Cincy on the way to the US Open?

Exactly. The idea is to prepare the players for the culminating Slam.

Ion Tiriac should be (and will be) run out of town.

And kudos to Rafa & Nole for saying they won't be back unless it's red clay.

Experiments should NOT be happening at this level.

This is a joke tournament if you ask me.

The tour returns to actual real clay court tennis on Monday - in Rome.

After that stupid detour in Madrid from the Road to Roland Garros.
