Her game is built around working for opponent errors. She only risks going for winners in dire straits. It's boring ass BS, but because she likes the drop shot & slices balls to death she gets all this fanfare for having a soft touch. The truth about her game is she's ranked in the top 3 but, like Woznaicaki as a former #1 who had a similar philosophical approach, she's only ever made 1 Slam final and lost easily (in the end).
No, grass actually suits her, that's why she's made 3 semis here & her only final. The low bounce suits her BS, but yes the pace does hurt her as well. It's a double-edged sword for her approach.
