Last night during the Nole v Gael match the wind was pretty strong. On a tennis forum (http://www.mytennislounge.com/) a few people were discussing the affect on the players.
One guy was getting pretty steamed that the weather was ruining the match for both players but a few others were disagreeing with him.
So the question is should play be stopped when it is "too windy" just like play is stopped when it rains?
For me if a player can serve, get the ball over the net and into play then the match should not be halted. Being able to adapt to different conditions is part of being a tennis players. It is no different from changing your game plan when you face a certain player.
Looking at the Nole v Gael match (i did not watch Roger v Robin) it was clear that Nole handled the conditions much better than Gael. The poster's point last night was that it ceased to be a fair contest and became a "lottery"
What is the answer?
