(66,121 posts)1. I play tennis on grass all the time. The game may be a lot slower, but it is a lot more fun. We volley a little bit ...

(242 posts)2. Why play on grass????
I think playing on grass is simply a snobby little british thing. After a few matches the grass is worn and looking ugly. The Brits should just use astro turf so that can keep their pretty little green courts looking perfectly british greenly manicured.
