WHAT DOES GRASS COURT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

grass court

Grass court

A grass court is one of the four different types of court on which the sport of Lawn Tennis is played. Grass courts are made of rye grass in different compositions depending on the tournament. Wimbledon, with 100 percent rye grass, is considered to be slower than other grass courts such as Queen's in London, and 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands. Although grass courts are more traditional than other types of tennis courts, maintenance costs of grass courts are higher than those of hard courts and clay courts. Grass courts must be left for the day if rain appears, as the grass becomes very slippery when wet. Grass courts are most common in Britain, although there are still a few others remaining elsewhere in the world.
