A tennis court made of grass and known for its fast surface. 4, record 1, English, - grass%20court
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
For play the grass is cut short, lower than two inches, and has the appearance of a golf green, although a grass court must be much sturdier to resist running and sliding. Because the bounce is low and the ball skids and skips, the grass-court game is extremely fast, favoring an attacking player with strong serve and volley who gets to the net quickly. This contrasts widely with the clay-court game and its premium on base-line play. 5, record 1, English, - grass%20court
