Ah, the bounce and speed change because each surface has its own temperament, yaar. Clay is like a patient elder, grabbing the ball to slow it down and offer a high bounce, while grass is a mischievous youngster, keeping the ball low and quick. Hard court is the stern headmaster, giving a true bounce but no mercy on the knees. I see this in my players' ankles and knees after tournaments—the clay boys move like dancers, the grass-trained ones have the quickest reflexes, but the hard court grinders, baapu, they come back to Chennai with the most strapping and the deepest sighs.
