A common feature of grass court specialists is their ability to serve and volley. A serve-and-volley player is at a distinct advantage on a grass court because his/her service is quickened enough to force the receiver to handle it quite defensively rather than agressively, as can be the case on a slower surface. Their effectiveness at the net is therefore greatly improved. The term "grass court specialist" is used with somewhat less frequency than Hard Court Specialist and with much less frequency than Clay Court Specialist owing to the fact that there are fewer players who meet the description. Some examples of prominent players who are frequently referred to as grass court specialists are: Ivo Karlovic , Els Callens , Daniele Bracciali , and Gilles Elseneer . |
