If I\u2019m being honest, it\u2019s a very bad change here. Last year, the courts were obviously fast on the speed index, but the balls were very slow, so I actually thought the tournament here was played on the slightly slower side, but it was alright.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t like insanely slow. Now they slowed the courts down. The balls are maybe not quite as slow, but they\u2019re still pretty slow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/novak-djokovic\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Novak Djokovic<\/a>, Fritz also struggled with the humidity in Shanghai.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cYou play three balls into the ball change, and they\u2019re massive, and you can\u2019t do anything with the ball. Not to mention the humidity as well. It slows it down as well. It feels like the ball\u2019s not going anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Fritz called out the slow court speeds at the Shanghai Masters after surviving a scare against Fabian&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,85034,3270,615,2083,39713,82,593,621,40972,94632],"class_list":["post-189004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-china-open","tag-emma-raducanu","tag-jannik-sinner","tag-novak-djokovic","tag-shanghai-masters","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-news","tag-tennis-updates","tag-wuhan-open"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
