Halfway Brilliant

That was a brilliant idea to play tennis on clay AND on grass at the same time! Bring together the best tennis player on gravel (Rafael Nadal) and the best tennis player period (Roger Federer), and let them slug it out!

How would other sports handle this... Formula One races that are held on asphalt for the first bit, then move into the dirt for the last... an American Football field that is on one side normal grass, and astroturf on another... a bout between wrestlers and boxers, where one round they both must box, and the next they both must wrestle... (oh wait, that's been done to death already)

As a novelty it was halfway brilliant. Unfortunately also a bit half-assed... but good on them for trying.
