Former Argentine tennis player Guillermo Vilas recently expressed his opinion on the conditions of the grass at Wimbledon, and commented that this surface could also be used at the Australian Open. Vilas pointed out that the Argentine Legion has not reached the semifinals of the Aussie Open in almost two decades.
According to Vilas, the characteristics of the grass could benefit Argentine tennis players, as they are more accustomed to playing on fast surfaces. The former world number one emphasized the importance of adapting to the conditions of each tournament and suggested that the Legion players could succeed at the Australian Open if it were played on grass.
Vilas praised the performance of Argentine tennis players in other tournaments and expressed his desire for them to shine again at the Australian Open. It is noteworthy that the last time an Argentine reached the semifinals in Melbourne was in 2003, when Guillermo Coria managed to reach that stage.
