- There are 3 types of surfaces in tennis: clay, hard and grass courts.
-People play on clay courts, because it forces them to be patient and not go for any mistakes. Playing on clay courts also helps players by increasing the length of the points. This will help the players work on their placement of shots.
- People play and train on grass courts, because of the speed of the courts. The grass court speeds up the points and it allows the players to use more serve and volley. Playing on grass also decreases the odds that a player will get injured on the court, because of the soft surface.
- People play on hard courts because it is the main surface where people have tournaments on. This surface is also really easy to find, you can go to a local park, a school or a tennis club nearby.
- There are 3 main tennis serves: flat, slice, topspin.
- People hit flat serves to get more power on the serve so they can have a easier shot to win the point. The downside on hitting a flat serve is the percentage it goes in, because your hitting the serve so hard that it is very difficult to control.
- People hit topspin serves to get the ball to bounce higher. People use this because it is very easy to get in and it gives the players serving more time to set up what they are going to do in the point.
- People hit slice serves to get the ball to bounce lower and get the ball away from your opponent. This is a valuable serve because you can place the serve in many different spots. The server can use the slice to jam the returner and can use the slice to throw the serve away from your opponent.
