Ah, the ball seems to think and behave differently on each surface, na? On clay, it digs in and slows down, making you work for every point. On grass, it stays low and skids, a rich man's game of quick reflexes. Hard court is the honest middle ground we common players get on our rented public courts in Mumbai—predictable bounce, but merciless on the knees. Watching the wealthy club players on their imported clay, I think the real difference isn't in the soil, but in who can afford the time to learn its secrets.
