Question: How does playing on grass change the game?
Answer: The bounces on grass are low, fast, and somewhat unpredictable, so serve-and-volley players, who are good at avoiding letting the ball bounce, have an advantage. Slice shots are more effective on grass than on other surfaces, because the skidding effect of a good slice drive is enhanced by the low bounce. Faster serves skid forward, making them harder to return, but kick serves don't kick as well, making them easier to return.
