There are four main types of courts depending
on the materials used for the court surface: clay courts, hard courts,
grass courts and indoor courts (carpet, rubber or wood). Each playing surface
has its own characteristics which affect the playing style of the game.
Of the Grand Slam tournaments, the U.S. Open and Australian Open use hardcourts
(though both used grass courts in the past, and the U.S. Open also used
clay courts), the French Open is played on clay (though it too was played
on grass before 1928), and Wimbledon is played on grass.
