What’s the difference between green clay and red clay — and why does it matter? Andrea Petkovic and Alison Riske-Amritraj break it down from the Charleston Open, comparing how the two surfaces impact movement, shot selection, and overall strategy as the tour transitions into the clay season. They explain which players benefit most from each surface, the key technical adjustments required, and why green clay plays differently from the traditional red clay seen across Europe. A must-watch breakdown of one of tennis’ most misunderstood surfaces.
