Hard surface
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.
Before hard court, the Australian Open was played on grass. The tournament was played on grass from 1905 to 1987 and was switched to hard court in 1988 when the Australian Open was forced to move to a bigger venue. A Rebound Ace surface was used from 1988-2007 and Plexicushion is the current surface.
