Link needed - length of rallies ... their was a study done once here on this site on rallies - #'s and percentages - 1st balls - 2nd balls - 3rd walls ect - anyone has a link to that or know what the authors name was that did it?

In answer to this comparison red clay and hard, here is some amazing data from Craig:

2016: Roland Garros vs US Open. The following data is for the entire tournament for MEN

0-4 Shots

• Roland Garros = 67%
• US Open = 68%

5-8 Shots

• Roland Garros = 21%
• US Open = 21%

9+ Shots

• Roland Garros = 12%
• US Open = 11%

As you can see, there is almost no difference in the metrics. Roland Garros and the US Open are actually very similar in so many ways with rally length.
