Berdych v Monfils starting soon.
Just so I'm clear, why is it that some players prefer (and tend to fare better) on clay as opposed to grass? Or grass as opposed to clay, etc
Does the ball move quicker on clay?

Monfils gets an early break in the second set.
Berdych.
It bounces higher and play is slower on clay. The margins aren't as pronounced as they used to be though.Originally Posted by Ernesto
Players that whack the ball hard traditionally like grass because it's more likely to finish a point. However clay gives those players more time to set it up and I suppose grass can be harder to balance on whereas most players can slide around on clay.
Monfils takes the second set 6-4.
Berdych takes the third set 7-6 (7-3).
And the fourth set goes to a tiebreak.
