Best Answer

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.

The court surface at Wimbledon has always been real grass, hence 'Lawn Tennis', although clay courts and synthetic indoor courts also exist at the complex for training purposes. Although the courts are especially prepared with particular grass and soil for the purpose, the grass does naturally wear down over the use of the courts and can develop bare patches and slippery areas.

The courts at Wimbledon are made up of rye grass, with each individual blade of grass averaging 8 millimetres in length. Wimbledon is also now the only of the four Grand Slams to be played on grass, although the Australian Open was also played on grass in the past.
