Once and for all: does a grass court speed up or slow down as the grass wears off during a tournament?

Question

over the years iv heard different people claim different things- but does the court get quicker or not? iv you've had experience on the surface id love to hear your response

Answer 1

Grass slows down as it wears out, however, the bounces are so upredictable, you have to react faster so it kind of evens out.

Answer 2

Tony the surface slows down over the fortnight but the unevenness creates odd bounces.

Answer 3

grass courts wear out on speed when the grass wears out. but that results in worse bounces so u have to anticpate it more
