"Courts" in French translates to "tribunaux".
The Grand Slam courts are made of different surfaces depending on the tournament. For example, the Australian Open features hard courts made of a synthetic acrylic material, while the French Open is played on clay courts composed of crushed brick or stone. Wimbledon uses grass courts, which are natural grass, and the US Open utilizes a hard court system similar to that of the Australian Open. Each surface affects the speed and style of play differently.
The four major tennis tournaments are the Australian Open (January), French Open (May/June), Wimbledon (June/July), and US Open (Aug./Sept.) Both Australian Open and US Open are played on hard court surfaces. The Australian Open currently uses Plexicushion and the US Open uses hard court DecoTurf surface. The French Open is played on clay courts and Wimbledon is played on grass courts.

In French, court means short.
No, the Australian Open has not always been on hard court. Before 1988, the Australian Open featured grass courts, which was common at the time. However, it became very costly to maintain, so in 1988, the Australian Open switched to hard courts.
too many too can count to.
Although Jimmy Connors never won the French Open, his victory at the 1976 US Open came during the brief period (1975-77) when that tournament was held on clay courts. Connors is, therefore, one of only five men (Mats Wilander, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are the others) to have won a Grand Slam singles title on grass courts, hard courts, and clay courts. Connors also won the U.S. Open singles championship itself on on grass courts, hard courts, and clay courts, the only man to accomplish that trio of wins.
The Australian Open features 17 courts in total, including the main arenas: Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena, and John Cain Arena. These main courts host the majority of the tournament's key matches, while the other courts are used for various matches throughout the event. The tournament typically takes place in Melbourne Park, where these courts are located.
