Graset i Wimbledon er mye tregere enn før. Leander Paes er en av de beste doublespillerne fra de siste 20 årene. Her er hans kommentar etter finalen:
“Nadal is a great player. But if Wimbledon would have been the same surface as it was in the early nineties, the scoreline for this year’s final may well have been a repeat of the French. Only that it would have been Federer dominating overwhelmingly.»
