It seems unsafe I don’t think there’s too many defaultsComment -
been playing for 150 years..Comment -
Never smoked it… but should be safe.Comment -
its unsafe when you take illegal drugs
in theory, it should be safestComment -
I read somewhere that the grass is in worse condition than usual, maybe due to the fact that there was no tournament last year.Comment -
It depends on the grass. Bermuda or Zoesia is safe. Fescue is not safe.Comment -
Grass can be uneven, patchy, etc and that can leads to slips and injury.
But over time the harder surfaces are much rougher on the body. Higher friction hard courts are terrible for player and lower extremity injuries or the most common on hard courts.
That little bit of slide or slip, some of which you don't even notice, on grass makes a huge difference on the stress the motion itself is putting on the body.

Only the black players are slipping.
Monfils, Serena, Goff
They don't know how to play smart
Grass tennis is about finess, you can't just be a blunt instrument out thereComment -
Was always a stupid idea to play on grass. Tennis isn't football or soccer.
It's like playing basketball on grass almost.Comment -
Grass tennis is the origin of the sport.
It plays different than hard court, similar to clay except you need to be more agile and not so much start/ stop.
Grass tennis is about serve, accuracy & angles.
It's not about speed or athletismComment -
Yeah grass is much better injury wise on a well kept court.
There's a big difference when it comes to friction.
Friction is a joint killer.Comment -
No one else plays on grass WITHOUT cleats
That's the problemComment -
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.Buona Fortuna! Ciao!
