Aaron, not to be too nitpicky but your description of grass being a fast surface is about seven years late. There may have been a time when grass - specificially, Wimbledon grass - was faster than hard courts but those days have long past. At present, Wimbledon is much slower than the US Open as evidenced by the prolonged rallies and high bounces in the recent 2008 final. 

If tannis fans want to bring back serve and volley tennis at Wimby they're going to have start by bringing back those pressurized tennis balls and return the the grass of yore.</description>
