It is not fair most tournaments take place on hard court surface which gives favour to Federer and Djokovic mostly they are best in it they are 9 ATP masters tournaments In that 6 Tournaments are on hard court surface only 3 Tournaments are on clay court surface Grass doesn't have 1 masters tournament also It would be nice if 5 ATP masters tournaments takes place on hard court surface 3 ATP masters takes place on clay court surface 1 ATP masters tournament on grass court surface it would be great even top players would show interest in it. They are no grass court specialist actually because lack of grass court tournaments as Andy Murray and Nadal said it Grass courts are in UK of Europe Few places in USA also Clay Courts are popular and common in Europe and South America. Hard courts are popular in North America and Australia and few parts of Europe actually Tennis is becoming competitive sport actually Focusing on hard and Clay courts Djokovic is unrivalled and unbeatable in Wimbledon simple Nadal had a chance to win it in past for sure now it is too late for him to end the streak of Djokovic on grass

It was a sensational match. I think it was Nadal's highest probable chance at the title, had he somehow qualified for the semifinals after this win last year. It was a miraculous turnaround in form after a dreadful first rubber, then played better but barely survived the 2nd rubber with a bit of luck, then turned up to play his best match of the week in this final rubber against eventual champ Tsitsipas who was running on joyous abandon and a "nothing to lose" wave from start to finish in the tournament.
