That's one of the arguments against tennis being in the Olympics. It's not the pinnacle of the sport for that year, as with most of the other sports.

Not sure if there's hawkeye on this court.
Damn just missed the end of Garbis match. These slow courts will suit Garbi more than Serena in the singles.
