Of all non-clay events, Indian Wells has probably the closest surface to playing conditions on clay.
- Speed : I don't have this year's data, but IW's Court Speed Index for 2017 was 27.4, barely faster than the clay M1000 events (between 20.9 and 24.9).-
- Bounce : "On this surface especially, the ball bounces really high which suits my game." Kohlschreiber.
Of course, the ball travels much faster in the California desert and the movement is different than on red clay, but it's still an indication.
