The proper selection of a tennis racquet, type of court surface and balls can help with and significantly shorten the training time and improve the game's technique, as well as to prevent injuries. The main elements of the tennis equipment and facilities are: Tennis court Tennis courts can be of different surfaces: clay, grass, concrete (hard court) or artificial. Depending on th e material used for the surface of the tennis court, four main types of surfaces are distinguished: 1. Clay courts are made of crushed shale stone or brick. They are mainly practiced on by players who play from the baseline. They are used only at the French O pen from the Grand Slam tournaments. Typical for them is the great adhesion/cohesion of the ball, resulting in slower speed, although the rebound is higher than on grass or hard courts. They are cheaper to build than the other types, but surface maintenanc e is more expensive. They are most common in Europe and Latin America. Fig. 6. Red (clay) court 2. Grass courts are the fastest courts on which tournaments are held. Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam tournament played on grass. It is heavily planted into the ground and very difficult to nourish. The rebound on the grass court depends on many factors, the most import ant being the quality of the grass.

Lita aVrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands bTinbergen Institute, The Netherlands cCREATES, Aarhus University, Denmark January 23, 2018 Abstract We propose a basic high-dimensional dynamic model for tennis match results with time varying player-specific abilities for different court surface types. Our statistical model can be treated in a likelihood-based analysis and is capable of handling high-dimensional datasets while the number of parameters remains small. In particular, we analyze 17 years of tennis matches for a panel of over 500 players, which leads to more than 2000 dynamic strength levels. We find that time varying player-specific abilities for different court surfaces are of key importance for analyzing tennis matches.

  • Tennis Court Surface Analysis
    Tennis Court Surface Analysis Tristan Barnett and Vladimir Ejov Flinders University College of Science and Engineering Introduction All four grand slams (Wimbledon, Australian Open, US Open and the French Open) used to be played on a grass court surface. The Championships, Wimbledon, commonly known simply as Wimbledon, or The Championships, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world. It has been held at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London, since 1877 and is played on outdoor grass courts, and since 2009 with a retractable roof over Centre Court. Wimbledon is the only major still played on grass. The United States Open Tennis Championships is a hard court tennis tournament. The tournament is the modern version of one of the oldest tennis championships in the world, the U.S. National Championship, for which men's singles and men's doubles were first played in 1881. The US Open was played on grass (1881–1974), Clay (1975–1977) and on a Hard court surface of DecoTurf since 1978. The United States Tennis Association had installed a retractable roof on the Arther Ashe Stadium in 2016. After the success of the retractable roof on the Arther Ashe Stadium, the association re-constructed the Louis Armstrong Stadium in 2018 with a retractable roof. The French Open officially Roland-Garros began in 1891. The French Open was played on grass (1891–1907) and then moved to clay (1908–present). A retractable roof at the French Open is planned for 2020. First held in 1905 as the Australasian championships, the Australian Open has grown to become the largest annual sporting event in the Southern Hemisphere.
