Why tennis players pick and choose from different balls?

I can’t find any real explanation for this. Are there different balls? Some harder, some faster… or is it just a habit from players?

When one hits a tennis ball the fuzzier a ball is the more it will curve with spin applied by hitting the ball of center. Over a match the different balls will wear differently through use. Some players are better at applying spin than others, or will apply more spin to a second serve, to maximize the chance of continuing the point even if they have less chance of an ace on the second serve.
