Your Guide to Different Types of Tennis Court Surfaces
                     Different Types of 
Tennis Court Surfaces
Tennis is a game of strategy and finesse, which means 
that the type of tennis court surface you play on can 
make all the difference. In this PPT we learn about 
different types of tennis court surfaces.
1. Clay Courts 
Clay courts are made up of crushed brick, shale, or stone mixed 
with sand. This type of surface is soft and slow to play on because 
it absorbs moisture readily.
2. Hard Courts
Hard tennis court surfaces are made up of very tightly packed 
crushed stones (usually granite or quartz), which give great 
durability for outdoor play.
3. Grass Courts
Grass courts are made up of crushed white clover and rye 
grasses that have been mowed so close they feel like velvet 
when you play on them.
4. Carpet Courts
Carpet courts are a tennis court surface type that has a low 
pile that absorbs less water than clay surfaces do, which 
means players have more time between points to catch their 
breath.
No matter which type of court interests you, 
Talbot Tennis’ tennis court builders can make it.
