Advantages of Playing on Grass Courts

1. Fast Surface

   • Grass courts are the fastest among all tennis surfaces. Balls skid and stay low, favoring quick, aggressive play.

2. Favors Strong Serves and Volleying

   • Big servers and serve-and-volley players benefit greatly. The quick points reduce the chance of long rallies.

3. Shorter Matches

   • Due to faster points and fewer rallies, matches often take less time, which can be less taxing on the body.

4. Softer on Joints

   • The natural cushioning of grass reduces stress on knees, hips, and ankles compared to hard courts.

5. Tradition and Prestige

   • Playing on grass courts like Wimbledon connects players to tennis's historical roots and is seen as prestigious.

 Disadvantages of Playing on Grass Courts

1. Unpredictable Bounce

   • The ball can bounce low or irregularly due to the surface, making consistent play more difficult.

2. Requires Specialized Movement

   • Grass is slippery. Players need good balance and fast reflexes to adjust and avoid injury.

3. Not Ideal for Baseline Players

   • Long rallies are rare. Players who rely on topspin or grinding from the baseline may struggle.

4. Weather Sensitivity

   • Grass becomes very slick when wet and is easily damaged, making it highly weather-dependent and often unplayable in rain.

5. High Maintenance

   • Grass courts require constant mowing, watering, and rest. As a result, they're expensive and less common.
