I see a lot of play on wet courts and it concerns me. Having said all this, I wish they would go back to full wind screens. Maybe with enough feedback they would be willing to make the change.
IMO that's BS, when I play in the morning the screens are up after the fiasco. The courts don't dry till the sun hits them or the humidity come down. And beside if that worked why do they got to be 4 foot off court floor wouldn't 6" do the same? Wind screen are there for reason and have been in place over 20 plus years. IMO it's utter bull**** to have them rolled up and blow in the wind shorting the court. IMO they might as well not put screen up using the 6 foot screens. IMO there more wind than wet courts.
