Pro basketball always on wood. Pro football (US) mostly on grass. Why do tennis surfaces vary so much?
Or is it just green clay sometimes?

So they do vary a lot but the main types are red clay, hard court, and grass. Clay magnifies any spin on the ball and slows the game down which encourages longer rallies and a more strategic game with better footwork. Grass is the fastest so huge serves and volley games play the best there. Hard court is in the middle. Grass is the hardest to maintain followed by red clay and hard court takes practically no effort. The green clay is called hard tru it’s for people who want clay but don’t want to spend the money to build and maintain red clay.
Hope this helps!
