Scorcher to put heat on Tiley's court claim

Players have been complaining that the new Plexicushion surface which has been laid at the Austrailian Open, is slower than Rebound Ace and it has already claimed a number of players due to injuries - Mark Philippoussis, Jelena Dokic, Jelena Jankovic, Meghann Shaughnessy and David Nalbandian. It also makes the balls fluff up more than Rebound Ace ever did.

Tiley's veneer of "Reasons" for changing the courts seem to be wearing a little thin.

Not only that Australia's most respected coach Tony Roche says Rebound Ace is the best product on the planet.
