What do you think which surface is best and which one worst for Petra?
I will give indoor alone - i know it is HC, but i think it is clearly different to play Indoor and outdoor HC. So we have outdoor HC, Indoor HC, clay , grass.
First in poll will be best, second will be worst surface.
So when we look on surfaces :
Grass - Petra seems to be comfortable on grass, can use her lefty serve-slice, also has pretty good volleys for WTA tour and can use slice which is effective on grass. Also the surface is pretty ,,quick,, so she can play her tennis - winning rallies pretty quick.
Indoor HC - She has perfect conditions for her agressive powerfull game, no wind there for missing shots- bad timing, i think indoor conditions really suits here, her serve, her deep groundstrokes are effective, because she can hit them well. Also Indoors courts are generally quicker and she likes fast tennis - 1-2-3 shots.
Clay - Clay is exactly opposite for grass and indoors which are faster surfaces, clay as slowest surface is actually also i think good for PEtra´s game. Maybe her serve isn´t such big weapon here, but she has great return, especially her attack on 2nd serves - return winners are great for clay where she got enough time for good timing and big FH- big BH. Also in rallies she can benefit that has more time for her own deffense, because movement, footwork are not her major strenghts. Also she can dictate with lefty-topspin FH.
Outdoor HC - I think this is her worst surface, worst didn´t mean she can´t play here, but on other surfaces she is i think better. First of all on WTA tour outdoor HC is major surface, about 2/3 of big events are on outdoor HC and all players are comfortable and best on outdoor HC, so the competition here is biggest. Also generally outdoor HC are medium speed surfaces and PEtra likes more faster or slower, not medium fast.
So what do you think? about which surfaces suits here?
