How different is the game of tennis when played on grass, clay or asphalt?

The surface can make a big difference in the game of tennis. Grass is a fast surface that gives players the advantage of serving and volleying, while clay is a slow surface that gives players more time to react and hit groundstrokes. Asphalt is a hard surface that is faster than clay but slower than grass.
