Like most people I thught this was an April Fool's joke but apparently it's quite serious. Rafa and Roger are going to play an exhibition on May 2 in Palma, Mallorca. The court will be half grass and half clay. I kid you not. Here's a picture of the court being constructed which appeared in the Spanish press.

Article in the original Spanish.

Basically it's saying they're building the court. The builder of the clay side isn't having any problems since the contractor is the same guy that makes the Davis Cup surface for Spain. The grass side is of more concern since there is little time for it to take.

El lado de la tierra batida no tiene ningún secreto para el constructor mallorquín ya que es el responsable de hacer las pistas de Copa Davis cuando España actúa como local, y lo único que preocupa es el lado de la hierba, especialmente por el poco margen de tiempo que tienen. To quote that famous poet L'il Kim, "it's all about the Benjamins baby"
