It seemed like that really benefited Preston Stearns' game today.

Sure did.

These courts are gritty.

I guess they resurfaced them somewhat recently.

I don't know exactly when, but I'd heard them, multiple players comment at practice about balls are, especially like the kick serve was utilized really well out, especially if you're right-handed going out wide.

Um, and it's just some- like the ball's grabbing.

It's like more like an Indian Wells court surface, where it feels like if you were to fall, you're gonna scrape your knee.

It was a big first set win for DK.
