TENNIS COURTS

Tennis Courts Solutions:

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) approved various surfaces, including clay courts, hard courts, and grass courts. TAG Sports Group designs, recommends, and builds all court surfaces, as well as provides all complementary tools such as fences, line marking, post and net, umpire chair, lighting, and seats. 

Acrylic Surface

The US Open and the Australian Open both use acrylic-topped hard court surfaces. Hard courts are constructed of uniform rigid material and are frequently covered with an acrylic surface layer to provide a more consistent bounce than other outdoor surface types. Hard courts vary in speed; they are faster than clay courts but slower than grass courts. The amount of sand added to the paint has a significant impact on the ball speed. Hard courts are less costly to maintain.

Rubber Surface

Tennis rubber surfacing is long-lasting and provides excellent shock absorption. They can significantly reduce the severity of injuries and falls. The rubber material is superior to acrylic because it is strong enough to resist cracks caused by extreme temperatures, reducing wear and tear. Rubber tennis courts are used on some outdoor courts, but they are not approved for professional competitions. It is recommended for amateur use in schools, hotels, and villas. Rubber surfacing costs more than other materials.

Turf Surface

Tennis on artificial turf infilled with sand provides a durable, consistent surface that requires less maintenance than natural grass courts. Tennis artificial turf is typically a fast surface, faster than hardcourts, with low bounce. Tennis Artificial turf is used on some outdoor courts, but it is no longer used in professional events. Recommended for amateur use in schools, hotels, and villas, as well as temporary venues.

Clay Surface

The French Open is the only Grand Slam tournament played on clay courts. Clay courts slow down the ball and produce a higher bounce than grass or hard courts, so they preferred by baseline players. Clay courts are less expensive to build than other types of tennis courts because they are made of crushed shale, stone, or brick, however, clay courts cost more to maintain.
