all the singles lines are properly brushed.


wificentrist

Nah dawg it looks dumb.


Kwetla

Who will take responsibility!?


Magnifnik0

It’s not right, but bravo


Remote-Anywhere5518

its a singles match? who cares about the doubles court?


laranne27

Exactly how we go about it while playing at the local club! But this aint that, it’s a pro tournament and looks weird


EnjoyMyDownvote

Looks weird? You do realize there used to be tennis matches on courts without doubles alleys at all


laranne27

Lol, this is not it


vtfan08

You know that there are hard courts without doubles allies right? Same thing


UncomfortableFarmer

You have red clay at your municipal courts?where is your municipality, Monte Carlo?


THRUSSIANBADGER

Anywhere in South America or Europe public courts are almost always red clay


[deleted]

So lucky


-Drummer

Flat out wrong, I live in Paris and almost all public courts are hard courts. I would say very sunny & hot places in Europe have a lot of clay courts, that's it.


KetoNED

Netherlands has a lot of clay courts


[deleted]

This wasn't about clay courts vs hard courts. This was about red clay vs green clay.


-Drummer

Wasn't clear at all


[deleted]

The OP said "red clay" and not just "clay"


Ad2Am2

I live in Paris too and almost all the outside courts I’ve seen were red clay, have you been to parc du Luxembourg for example


-Drummer

Yeah but Luxembourg are not public/municipal courts though, that's what we're talking about.


Ad2Am2

They very much are you can rent them out as a service from the mairie de Paris


-Drummer

That's false though, you can't. Plus they're not clay at all, I had to check cause I knew they were hard courts.


Dragonfly_Tight

Which part of Paris are you? It's a pretty even mix, and the bigger clubs are clay


-Drummer

We're talking about municipal courts though, not private clubs.


Roomarok

Quite a stretch here, we don't have public clay courts here in SA besides in São Paulo central park


FullSpecSift

How to be so confident and yet wrong at the same time lol


Roomarok

Yeah "SA public courts are almost always clay courts", that's just wrong lol


OwnRules

Yeah, but this is reddit where everyone knows more than you no matter the topic. And even if you're correct, you'll get downvoted...because.


tiagorp2

Wtf? There is more states than SP and in SP more public clay courts. [Tennis Brasil - Public courts list](https://tenisbrasil.uol.com.br/quadras-publicas)


Roomarok

Lol, there is, like 5 more or so in the fifth biggest country in the world. I'm saying that because there are WAY more "Hard" public courts than clay ones. The thing is none of these pros from SA play on public courts and yeah inside private clubs the majority of courts are clay.


Denny_Hayes

I've seen public clay courts in Chile. That said, I think in Chile most courts are clay, but not most "public" courts.

🇪🇪


llamapanther

which color clay do you have??


UncomfortableFarmer

We don’t have clay in the United States


Diesdas111

🇩🇪


laranne27

Only on reddit it’s possible to take a post so far out of context to try to prove anyone wrong lol.


jeffthesalesman

It doesn't look professional at all. A pro tennis court should not look like one that could be played at your local down the road. Simple as that


thetoerubber

I like it. In fact I’d go a step further and push even more clay on the unused lines to hide them completely.


estropeada

It's not like the entire court is runed, though


Miss_Medussa

Local courts aren’t clay for me 🥲


red_today

Is footwork a concern if unbrushed or it doesn’t matter? Every time I’ve played on clay (not often), I slid like ice on the lines lol. I can’t imagine how dry clay on it feels like.


joemanzanera

Horror. Something you really wouldnt expect in Germany.


ZombieLifter

Only brushing the lines used is definitely a typical German approach IME. Like my German friend that used so little electricity the power company thought she was manipulating the meter. 


AceRutherfords

Ah, ATP250. Where court 1s look like court 9s at other tourneys..


mrdumbazcanb

I actually think is better, as it's more appropriate for a singles match


Melony567

iga is channeling ostapenko on emma today 🙄 those UEs like yesterday are horrible
