What to watch

Why clay creates a different rally pattern

Clay slows the ball after the bounce and normally produces a higher bounce, giving players more time and encouraging longer baseline exchanges. Movement is also distinctive: controlled sliding and recovery position can matter as much as outright shot speed.
