The grass-court season is short — meaning it brings additional challenges for players to master the surface.
Last year, Carlos Alcaraz said, “Every time I step on a grass court I have to learn how to move better, how to play better.”
Quite the statement from someone who has won Wimbledon twice.
The issue for players is the constant change of surfaces throughout the year and that so few tournaments are played on grass.
Grass requires sometimes-staccato movements and rewards players with clean ball striking and effective serves, as well as being an ideal surface for a variety of strokes, using slices and drop shots.
