Sarah Borwell made an interesting post about the courts at Gifu on GBTennisgirls.com:
"Maybe the beach wasn't to Bally's liking! The artificial grass courts are covered in sand and you literally cant stand up on them! The Japanese move very well, bunting it back most of the time!! Myself and Jane O'Donoghue had many a breakdown on the sand, everytime I was taken out wide I couldnt ever stop and kept on running!"
