It depends. I used to work for a guy who was a retired pro and I asked him the same question. He said when he was playing on the ATP Tour (this was back in the 1980's) he said he knew guys who would change shoes every match or if a pair was broken in and comfortable, they would play several matches in the same pair. I suspect it's the same these days. You'd think that since grass is less tough on shoes, she'd be able to play more matches in the same pair, whereas, on a hard court she might change every match. I don't know if you've ever seen grass court shoes, they are different from others, they have little nubs on the sole – they're kind of cool looking.
