The US Open is played on an acrylic hard court. The Australian Open is played on a synthetic hard court. The French Open is played on clay and Wimbledon is a grass court. Grass courts are considered the fastest, while clay courts slow the ball down the most and provide a higher bounce. The speed of the hard courts can be affected by the amount of sand in the paint - the more sand in the top paint, the slower the ball bounces.
Both the US Open and the Australian Open are played on hard court, the French Open at Roland Garros is played on the clay and the Wimbledon Championships are on grassm, with each blade of grass averaging 7-8 millimetres in length.
