Big-serving American John Isner said it was"bit nasty out there" after coming through his opening round at the French Open on Sunday but had few complaints about the conditions.
The 35-year-old Texas resident does not usually play in chill winds and drizzle on a damp claycourt, but the 21st seed still impressed in a 6-4 6-1 6-3 defeat of French wildcard Elliot Benchetrit in one hour 42 minutes.While many players moaned about the conditions, the heavy balls and the lack of atmosphere in a largely-empty Roland Garros complex, Isner was upbeat after his first match on the red dirt for more than two years.
"But with how the clay is now, I think it almost helps me in the sense that the really good movers can't slide around like they normally can because the clay's really damp. "A lot of people think I prefer playing on fast courts. That's not the case at all," he said."I much prefer playing on slower courts. I like my serve in any conditions. Outside of my serve, if I'm playing on a slow court, it gives me more time."

Why shophouses are the most underrated properties in SingaporeShophouses hold good value, and boast both space and history. It's also cool to say you live in one. For residential purpose, it’s noisy as near to road, dusty (you’ll see all shophouses have their windows closed), parking is tough, no shelter so when it rains your luck runs out to get to the car, ventilation could be another issue. This one is also gorgeous. If it’s underrated, it wouldn’t take millions to buy one.
