Tennis surfaces are graded by how fast the ball comes off them. A hard court plays quick and rewards a big serve; clay slows the ball and lengthens rallies; synthetic grass sits in between and needs the least upkeep.
The choice is not only about play. Rainfall, sun exposure, how many hours a day the court runs and who maintains it all point to different surfaces.

Which one is right depends on rainfall, hours of play and what is already on the ground.
Multi-layer acrylic. Fast, low maintenance, the most common choice.
Added rubber layer for player comfort on high-use courts.
Sand-filled short-pile turf. Softer, quieter, very low upkeep.
Traditional slow surface. Beautiful to play on, demands daily care.
