Podemos [...] dividir las superficies en dos tipos: Pistas rápidas y pistas lentas [...] en esta clase de pistas hay poco tiempo para el intercambio de golpes desde el fondo de la misma, por lo tanto, los jugadores adoptan el juego de sacar y subir. Los golpes que hay que dominar para adoptar este tipo de juego son: saque potente, volea muy colocada y smash efectivo y también muy colocado. 2, record 2, Spanish, - pista%20r%C3%A1pida
