Surface
There are three main types of court surfaces, with one less common surface. Depending on the materials used, each surface provides a difference in the speed and bounce of the ball, which in turn can affect the level of play of individual players. The three most common surfaces are:
Clay - red clay (used at the French Open and many other tournaments, especially in Europe and Latin America), green clay (an example of which is Har-Tru and used mainly in the U.S.)
Hard - examples are acrylic (Plexicushion used at the Australian Open, DecoTurf used at the US Open), asphalt, and concrete. Hardcourts have a typically faster play in comparison to other surfaces.
Grass - used at Wimbledon. Grass courts when compared with hardcourts have characteristically a slower paced ball, when in play. |
