Many other devisions like this are the same.

What are tennis courts made of?
Tennis courts may be made of virtually any materials, the most notable of which are represented by the four tennis Grand Slam venues: hard (cement or similar; the most common tennis playing surface, played at both the Australian Open and US Open tournaments), clay (true, crushed brick, synthetic; the second most common tennis playing surface, played at the French Open tournament), and grass (the eponymous progenitor of "lawn tennis", specially blended and cut; the least common tennis playing surface, due to its high maintenance costs, played at the Wimbledon and International Tennis Hall of Fame, Rhode Island, USA, tournaments). Other surfaces include artificial grass(carpet), packed sand, and rubberized asphalt. Certain poor areas and island nations use whatever resources they have available, such as crushed sea shells, wood planks, etc, or just put up a make-shift net on deserted tarmacs, empty streets, etc.
Why are lawn-tennis tournaments called 'OPEN'?
Professional tennis tournaments - and other sports, as well - are called "open" to indicate that any professional player may make an entry, although, of course, not all will be able to play due to tournament limitations (e.g., 128 men and 128 women tennis players at a Grand Slam event). A "closed" event is one in which the tournament invites only certain players to play; these players are usually higher ranked and/or popular with the public (n.b., this is true of amateur and college level tournaments, as well). Technically speaking, all professional tennis events that earn players points on the ATP (men's) or WTA (women's) tour are "open" events to prevent anyone from being excluded from an event and, thus, not having a fair chance to compete and earn ranking points and prize money. Thus, the word "open" is somewhat superfluous, at least as far as the tennis spectator is concerned, and is, ultimately, little more than a marketing ploy.
How do you make money from a pool table?

How much money do tennis players earn?
Prior to the 1970's, tennis players did not win large amounts of money, as they do, today. The "honor" of winning a trophy, along with the fame and glory that accompanied it, was deemed far more important. Since sponsorships were very rare in those days, most tennis players were well-to-do, and could afford to travel the world to play the sport with their own resources. Today, professional tennis players do not have a fixed salary. They make money from endorsements, sponsorships, and prize money. Tennis players can make a few hundred or thousand dollars winning matches in low-level and satellite tournaments, and hundreds of thousand dollars by winning major championships, such as those of the Grand Slam events.
