It really is. Grass is a much faster surface & favors the Big Serve players, clay slows the ball down & favors players who can move the ball around and maneuver the other player out of position. So I was never a huge fan of Wimbledon except as a showcase for personalities (Ilie Nastase, Evonne Goolagong).
By the way, have the US commentators figured out that it's Wimbledon not Wimbleton yet?
