Many people may think that mastering some basic tennis techniques can significantly improve their tennis skills, but in fact, beginners also need to understand some knowledge about courts and equipment, because different types of courts have different effects on the trajectory of tennis, so understanding these is very helpful for improving tennis skills and appreciation. Let's take a look at the current mainstream types of tennis courts.

Grass court

Grass courts are the oldest and most traditional tennis courts. The ground is made of natural grass, so the ball has little friction with the ground when it hits and bounces quickly, requiring high reaction, agility, running speed and skill from the players.
