Tennis Debate - is it Worse to Change the Ball or the Color of the Court?
This week saw controversy erupt over alleged new balls in use at the French Open. But tennis is no stranger to controversy. In a sport where one tournament has used the same ball brand for 109 years, it doesn't take much to start a battle.
Be Polite and Return the Ball
The rules are clear on this one. Unlike baseball, if a ball gets knocked into the stands, you can't hold onto it. Fans are expected to return a ball. And if you don't, you may become the unwelcome recipient of an entire stadium glaring at you as the umpire could hold up play until the ball is returned.
The reason why is because the balls wear down very quickly and that is taken into account by the players. Andre Agassi said it'd be "a serious disadvantage" for an opponent to not know if the approaching ball is old or new.
An Orange Tennis Court?
As reported by the New York Times, the color of the court is a matter of science these days. While many people argue for adhering to traditional colors, there is a strong argument for moving to a blue or a purple court.
It turns out that the yellow balls show up best on a blue or purple court. On the other hand, it can be easy to lose sight of the ball on a red court, which gives poorer contrast. That's especially important for the television cameras, whose operators also have to contend with cloud coverage and lower light levels as dusk approaches.
But not everyone is in favor. When the European circuit proposed a change at Madrid, the players vehemently protested for the traditional red clay to remain.
New Balls More Challenging For Players
The big news this week, however, is the use of new balls at the French Open. The players have been complaining loudly. The new balls, from French manufacturer Babolat, are said to move faster, bounce higher, and be more difficult for the players to use.
Officials are denying the balls have changed as dramatically as claimed, however. Laboratory tests are being cited to prove the balls have the same physical characteristics, and the change in behavior is being blamed on an unusually dry season in Paris.
The players remain unconvinced. Notoriously touchy about differing equipment specifications, the complaints center around the additional speed being better for power players and causing shoulder injuries.
Tennis is nothing if not traditional, and changing the brand of ball is a significant event. Wimbledon has used Slazenger balls for 109 years, while the U.S. Open continues to use the same brand (Wilson) after more than 30 years.
