    Check this out. Tennis Ball hits the ground in the tennis court of the Hisense Arena, and doesn't bounce back.

    That would be useful outside of the court so the ball doesn't go rolling away.

    What you don't see is how they fixed it. Evidently all they needed to do was drill some small holes in the surface to release the "bubble" that was causing the dead spot.

    That's the funny part :p. HAHAH. But it makes you wonder how the bubbles got there in the first place :p

    Those courts looked very new. I suspect that with the sun on them, what little air that was not squeezed out during the process of laying them expanded like a balloon.

    Probably some Aussie builder left his homebrew there. :p

    The drill holes were so it could be pumped out you see. ;)

    Maybe they had a bit too much Foster's when they were putting down that carpet!

    I love water actually, I drink loads of it per day. I choose not to drink any sodas, though I might drink a total can or two every year. Juice, is also rare because I just don't buy any. I have green tea every morning, and only drink soymilk with/or without my cereal since my stomach can't take cows milk anymore.

    Personally I like orange juice or lemonade and the large majority of soda I drink is all diet .
    A jug of milk will spoil before I get it drunk but I will drink it when I think of it.
    Plain water I don't care for.
