Two surfacesSourced
One side of the tennis court was grass, the other clay
In a 2007 exhibition on Mallorca, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal played on a court split between grass and clay. The two surfaces associated with their strengths shared a single court. Nadal won the match. Crossing the net also meant encountering a different kind of ground.
A single court held two very different surfaces.
