Nope. I hate adjacent courts with no separations. You are always picking up balls from the court next to yours.

Silly wabbit. These courts are at THEE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY. Some freshman will do that for you!

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
Something to keep an eye on for the NA hardcourt season: At the USO last year, 1st serve%s dipped (down to 57%) and double fault rates skyrocketed (close to Medvedev's seasonal average) due to the hard-to-control balls being used. This trend appears to be repeating itself in Canada so far.
Discussion
If you look at the completed ATP matches so far there are a ton of sub-60% 1st serve rates
Iga Swiatek in her interview on Roddick's podcast also said that the balls seem much lighter to her when practicing with them and that they're much harder to control
This also has rallying implications as well because the Cincy/USO balls last year tended to not take spin very well at all which was part of the reason certain high ranked players had massive issues keeping it in play
At first it might seem like grasping at straws but there have been some pretty clear massive swings in results among even high ranked players with different ball conditions and Iga outright said it herself

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
it took me a long time to realize that this is the reason balls have numbers on them...
