Skills and tennis surface?

Question

How can a tennis player use his skills in his favor on the different surfaces of play?

I mean

• Is a powerful player favourite on grass/hard/clay ?
• Is a technical player favourite on grass/hard/clay ?
• Is a quick player favourite on grass/hard/clay ?

Answer 1

It depends on the properties of the surfaces :

• Hard surfaces are fast and there are no big effects on the rebounds, so they're great for quick and powerful players
• Clay is a slow surface, where you can set serious effects on the rebounds, which is perfect for technical players
• Grass surfaces are the fastest ones and they're great for quick players, since the ball rebounds lower, the receiver must be very quick.

Answer 2

It actually depends on the players' comfort area. A technical player can adapt to any surface.
