I was wondering what the actual structure of the clay courts are at Roland Garros. I know the actual clay is made of crushed red brick, but what's below it? How thick is the layer of dirt? How are the lines applied to the court?
Has anyone played on a clay court? Can a recreational player feel the difference in ball speed, or is it something that will only make a difference at the highest level?
