According to the report by the USTA Facilities Committee, tennis courts actually do have faster and slower regions, based on how often they are used. The speed of these areas can affect one’s game. Some areas can, due to use, actually become faster. You will always notice that pros practice a good three to four days before the tournament on the courts before they plan the tournament. This is to adjust to the surface and speeds of the court. You may be a baseliner and the slower the surface the better you play. You might be a serve and volley type of player and a fast court would favor your game. The hard court you commonly play on is medium in speed and tends to favor the all court player. If your game style is suited to slow courts, then the serve and volley net rusher will give you nightmares. I suggest you develop your skills to better handle the medium court speed. This is the all court tennis game.
