Court speeds

I can't say I do, but I'd venture a guess on medium-slow.

Thanks HC. I'm taking a look at past winners/deep runs.

Spot on from the rankings I saw - medium at best. Comparable to Dubai & Acapulco, I believe.

Ok, thanks EP

Dubai more like U.S. Open court, faster than Acapulco, rain today so might want to consider that.

What's interesting is Dubai rankings differ for ATP & WTA according to TI. So probably inaccurate.

From another site, Acapulco is probably more accurate in comparison it seems but a shade faster as mentioned above, but not by much.

It seems we are all guessing big time, when it comes to these court speeds. For example, I thought Acapulco is pretty fast. Similar to the courts in Australia (Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne...). And from what I saw last year, Monterrey is right up there as well. I might be wrong though...

Mens tour, there is accurate info on most court speeds. There's a blog with all of them broken down but it's from 2013. WTA harder to find outside TI rankings.

temperature if it is hot enough or cold enough affects ball speed and bounce.
hotter, faster and more bounce. chilly, slower.
