Types of tennis courts in Australia:
Before the Australian Open 1988 venue was changed to Melbourne Park, the lawn tennis court was characterized by low friction between the ball and the ground and quick rebound. 1988 After the competition was moved to Melbourne Park, the venue was changed to a hard court.
Hard court has a smooth surface and high hardness, and the ball bounces regularly, but it bounces faster, so players who play all-round can take advantage. It is not only beneficial to the baseline stroke, but also suitable for serving and netting. Not only can you play topspin and backspin, but you can also hang high balls and put short balls.
However, because the hard court is not as elastic as other courts, and the surface reaction is strong and stiff, it is easy to hurt players.
