Another factor going into Roland Garros, which plays slower than Roma but takes more top spin and has a higher bounce,
Of course the weather in Paris has a lot to do with it, on a sunny day it really highlights the bounce and spin
Lenglen which is one of my favorite courts, we call it the 'peoples court' is very close up for the fans, is the faster court at RG
Chatrier the main court, is huge, and is slower than Lenglen.
This is where Alcaraz has a big advantage over other players, with his top spin, also his high top spin kicker serve, players like Sinner for example who is a flat hitter of the ball, has to try to negate his serve for starters.
Many memories of watching Rafa on a hot sunny day on Philippe Chatrier using his top spin was always a 'sight to behold'
