We did this because I wanted to see the reaction of the seed on different conditions. There are a lot of micro climates around here and it enabled us to see how the seed responded in a tournament situation, and also from a club and a professional use. <br> <br>The results I got back from the trials revealed to me that it was absolutely a no-brainer to continue to use MM50 across all three sites. </p> <p> <strong>Danny Negus </strong> <br>Head Groundsman, Devonshire Park International Tennis Centre, Eastbourne </p> <p> Disclaimer: Occasionally shortages of some varieties may occur, therefore we reserve the right to replace unavailable varieties with a suitable alternative.
