But in recent years Melbourne Park's Rebound Ace courts haven't played a lot faster than the red stuff - and despite noises to the contrary they're apparently playing more or less the same this year. Nadal, at 20 five years younger than Federer, went off the boil in the second half of last year and hasn't started this year in sensational touch; he also withdrew with a groin strain...
