Dirtballer | Big Data Finally Meets Clay

How exactly is a clay court different than a hard court?

Certainly the way a foot slides on clay, and the way the ball reacts with the granules of “terre battue” is different than playing on hard. But is there more to it than that?

If you look for the answer on practice courts all over the world, you would be led to believe that grinding from the back of the court is THE most important thing there is to be successful. The traditional “clay court” mantra focuses on repetition, shot tolerance and suffering from the back of the court. Build a trench back there and don’t miss.

Is that the same view point we get when we analyze clay court match data?

That’s exactly what Dirtballer is all about. Using big data to drill down to the essence of winning and losing on dirt. Get rid of the guessing.

Clay court tennis has never been under the microscope like this before!

The first time I interacted with Craig was when I was a student athlete at UVA. He gave our team a brilliant presentation, which really opened our eyes and our minds to how much more we could be improving by just paying more attention to important details. Craig is undoubtedly one of the sharpest tennis minds out there and his simple theories through observations of whats really happening will definitely intrigue every tennis lover out there, regardless of their level. Most importantly, I’ve always seen Craig as an avid student of the game, something which all of us should be if we truly love this beautiful game.
