Re: French Open

who does the rain help?

Eh, there's always debate about that...

Rain would make the court even slower, harder to slide on, and the ball wouldn't have as big of a bounce.

So, the court slowing down favors Nadal, but the ball not bouncing as high would limit part of his game.

Also, unless we get very heavy rain, I believe they do a good job of covering up the court. If they delayed the match till Monday, it would give Federer an extra day of rest... that's always good when you're pushing 30.
