    I did pretty well betting on clay these past few months. This is a first for me. And I’m wondering if I will have the same luck with the grass court and hard court season.

     

    Seems like clay players are consistent and beat players easily who don’t like playing on clay.

    So I’m wondering if the same will occur for grass and hard courts?

    Grass has its specialists as well. But clay undoes all the power players who are used to getting by on quick points and quick service games, which means their ground games are underdeveloped for the surface. Madison Keys is a classic example. She's made the SF stage at every Slam but the FO (QF record: 6-2 any Slam but the FO, 0-2 at the FO).

    I wouldn't say any surface is easier to cap than another. Understanding the difference between the surfaces and weighing that with the two players should help make your prediction.

    Red Clay, the ball slows down when it impacts with the surface and because the court compresses, it doesn't bounce very high like on green clay or hard.

    Grass, mobility is probably at it's lowest. Ace count is very high. This court is for the people who can't rely on fitness but rather flat hitters and accurate shot makers. Also the volleys just die on grass if hit lightly so guys with good hands and drop shots will get some more winners than usual.

    Hard Court, still favours the heavy hitters but the surface gives the footwork players the quickest reaction speeds. There's also a different grit rate in hard courts so some play faster than others.

    Maybe I did well this clay court season, because it is over 2-months. I did really well in the last few weeks, after being able to scout the players for the first 4-6 weeks. So I'm wary that I won't be able to do the same with the "short" grass court season coming up.

     

    And regarding betting hard courts, I feel like since all players have some decent practice on hard courts throughout their lifetimes, that there will be a better balance compared to clay or grass courts.

    I guess there's only way to find out, through raw experience in the next month betting grass courts. I am looking forward to Hamburg in July though ;-)

    @london4Wcup

    If you want serious advice..take it and run. I’ve followed this tennis board for probably 10+ years there isn’t a capper here that wins consistently in this sport. Ppl get hot and then they fade away. Tennis is incredibly tough long term, you need severe discipline, if your betting it everyday your likely not going to win, actually I’m confident to say you want win.
