Hard court

Hard courts are very easy to maintain. The main materials used in construction
are asphalt and concentrate. The ease of maintenance makes these courts the
most widely used surfaces; be it The White House or a high school or a popular
tennis academy, most courts nowadays are hard courts. These courts can range
from faster to slower which depends on the amount of sand that is put on the
court. The more the sand, the slower is the ball speed. Both US open and
Australian open are conducted on hard courts, the former being an acrylic and the
latter, a synthetic one. Hard courts tend to equalize the playing field and are
favored by athletes too.
Carpet court

Carpet courts are removable court surfaces. The material can be anything ranging
from artificial turf to hard rubber. Generally, carpet courts are good for a speedy
game.
