All of the surfaces play differently. Injury happens from fatigue and weather, and this and that, and make no mistake... when we get to the US Open, 3-4 more injuries will happen and someone will post, do more injuries happen on hard courts? LoL

Man, I almost didn't want to respond to this post because obviously there are only a handful of useful posts. When you are into the late rounds, QF, SF etc? Keep in mind they play in consecutive days, sometimes 5 days in a row in certain circumstances. It doesn't take but a slip to remind those tired legs and ankles that if you slip or slide and miss a step? Mental and physical fatigue SO plays a role in the stuff. Grass is obviously the one surface no one played on last year, and they only play on grass for about 3 tourneys a year at best now. Is it safer? If it isn't wet? I would say it is, and the given toll on the knees and joints is obviously better than hard courts.

Clay? Hey, another animal all together too, and also one that if you don't play on it when you are growing up to get that NATURAL experience from just knowing how to play on it? It can be difficult, which is why American's and Asians customarily don't do well on Grass and Clay... the experience isn't there like it is in Europe and South America. Even just as a youth to shoot the shit with friends in those places, they played on clay and grass to just play. SO I think it is a matter of just knowing the surfaces are all different, and injuries are just going to happen, regardless of the surface. How do we say? SHit happens?

Anyway, my 2 cents for what it's worth.
