What is a "hard court"?
A hard court is a type of tennis court made from a solid, flat surface, typically made of asphalt or concrete, and covered with a layer of acrylic or synthetic material. This surface is fast and provides a consistent bounce for the ball, making it suitable for players who rely on quick movements and strong serves. Hard courts are common at many tennis tournaments. The surface offers a balance between the slower clay courts and the faster grass courts, allowing for a wide variety of playing styles.
Examples
The hard court's consistent bounce allows for precise tennis shots.
