What are the main types of tennis court surfaces?

There are four main types of tennis courts: grass courts, clay courts, hard courts, and carpet courts.

1. Grass field.

Grass courts are one of the oldest and most traditional types of venues. It is characterized by small friction between the ball and the ground when it lands, and the speed of the ball is fast, which requires the player's reaction, sensitivity, running speed and skill very high. Therefore, the grass court is often regarded as the world of "offensive tennis", and various online offensive tactics such as serving the net and following the ball are almost regarded as the magic weapon to win on the grass tennis court, while the baseline players are difficult to achieve on the grass tennis court.

However, due to the extremely high requirements for the characteristics and specifications of grass courts, coupled with climate restrictions and high maintenance costs, it is difficult to be promoted around the world. At present, almost all of the lawn professional tennis tournaments held each year are held in the British Isles, and the time is concentrated.

In June and July, the Wimbledon Championship is one of the oldest and most prestigious of the tournaments.

2. Clay courts.

More precisely, the "soft courts", the most typical example of which is the French Open tennis tournament on clay. In addition, all kinds of common sand and mud surfaces can be called soft grounds. This kind of field is characterized by greater friction between the ball and the ground when it lands, the ball speed is slow, and the player will have a lot of room for sliding in the run, especially when making emergency stops and returns, which determines that the player must have better physical fitness, running and moving ability than on other fields, as well as more tenacious will.

Playing on this kind of court is a great test for the players' bottom line to hold on to the kung fu, players generally have to pay several times the sweat and patience in the bottom line with the opponent, often the winner is not the fierce service net player, but the side who struggles the bottom line.

3. Hard courts.

Most of the modern tournaments are played on hard tennis courts, which are the most common and common types of courts. Hard tennis courts are generally made of cement and asphalt, which are coated with red and green plastic surfaces, and their surface is smooth and hard, and the bounce of the ball is very regular, but the speed of the ball is very fast. Many good tennis players believe that hard court tennis is more "explosive" and that hard court dominance in tennis must be taken seriously.

It should be noted that hard surfaces are not as elastic as other textured courts, and the reaction of the surface is strong and stiff, so it is easy to cause injury to players, and this damage has cost many good tennis players.

4. Carpet field.

As the name suggests, this is a "portable" roll-up tennis court, its surface is a plastic surface layer, nylon braided surface layer, etc., generally bonded with a special glue to the ground of asphalt, cement, concrete sub-foundation with a certain strength and hardness, and some can even be directly spread or bonded to any supporting ground, which is easy to roll, suitable for transportation and has a very strong adaptability, indoor and outdoor and even the roof can be used. The speed of the ball depends on the flatness of the surface of the court and the roughness of the carpet surface. In terms of maintenance, this kind of site is also very simple, as long as the ground is kept clean, not damaged, and not waterlogged (for matching with the corresponding drainage facilities).

First of all, it is rarely used in general training competitions, and it is mostly used in professional teams. Secondly, the surface layer of the hard court is made of acrylic paint, and the more popular hard court tennis court (US Open, Australian Open) is mainly made of acrylic paint. This coating can be used on asphalt or concrete subbases.

According to the hardness and ball speed, it can be divided into two series: soft cushion elasticity and hard floor. The hard floor series is mainly constructed as follows: adhesive layer, texture layer, surface color layer and paint line.

In the upholstery series, a thick and thin rubber layer (elastic layer) is added between the adhesive layer and the textured layer. Thirdly, due to the difficulty and high cost of natural grass maintenance, especially in northern China, the temperature difference between the four seasons is very large, so it is rarely used. And the main advantages of acrylic paints:

1) Highly competitive performance** ratio. (2) Easy maintenance and long service life. (3) Non-toxic, environmentally friendly, resistant to ultraviolet radiation.

4) Large color selectivity and strong wear resistance.

Many friends like tennis, but some knowledge about tennis is not very clear, many people want to know what are the main types of tennis courts? In fact, the types of courts can be mainly divided into 1, grassland, which can be subdivided into natural grass and artificial turf, among which the earliest tennis court is the natural grass tennis court. 2. Hard courts, hard tennis courts refer to the courts paved with cement and asphalt and covered with red or green plastic fabrics.

3. Soft courts, soft courts are divided into many types, the main representative is the clay tennis court, and there are also various common sand and mud courts, which can be called soft courts.

There are 4 types of tennis courts, namely grass courts, clay courts, hard courts, and carpet courts.

Their characteristics are as follows:

1. The grass field is characterized by small friction between the ball and the ground when it lands, the speed of the ball is fast, and the requirements for the player's reaction, sensitivity, running speed and skill are very high;

2. Clay court, this kind of court is characterized by greater friction between the ball and the ground when it lands, the ball speed is slow, and the players will have a lot of room for sliding in running, especially when they stop and return urgently, which determines that the ball promotion player must have better physical fitness, running and moving ability than on other courts;

3. Hard court, high hardness, the bounce of the ball is very regular, but the speed of the ball is very fast;

4. The surface of the carpet field is a plastic surface layer, a nylon woven surface layer, etc., and the speed of the ball depends on the flatness of the surface of the field and the roughness of the carpet surface.

Tennis courts can be divided into outdoor and indoor and have a variety of different court surfaces, and there are usually four types, namely grass, hard, clay, and carpet.

1.Grassland. These include natural grass tennis courts and artificial turf tennis courts.

Natural grass tennis courts are one of the oldest and most traditional courts. The artificial turf tennis court is an imitation of the natural grass field, and its structure is a bit like a carpet, except that the bottom layer is nylon braid, and the bundle of nylon staple fibers is planted on it, and in order to maintain the uprightness of the fibers, the fibers are filled with fine sand.

2.Hard ground. Hard tennis courts are the most common kind of courts, and silicone uranium plastic courts are a kind of hard courts.

3.Laterite. The clay tennis court is a "soft court", which is not common in China, and it is generally only through the French Open that Chinese people know about it.

4.Rug. The carpet field is a tennis carpet, which is a "portable" roll-up tennis court, the surface of which is a plastic surface layer, nylon woven surface layer, etc., which is generally bonded to the ground with a certain strength and hardness of asphalt, cement and concrete bottom base.
