Additional Information

Hard courts are commonly used in most tennis events, including the

Australian Open and US Open.

Clay courts slow down the ball and produce a higher bounce, making

rallies longer (French Open).

Grass courts are fast, making it difficult to control the ball

(Wimbledon). BY RAHUL SHARMA

Wimbledon is known for its strict dress code, requiring players to wear

predominantly white.

The US Open is played at Flushing Meadows and was the first Grand

Slam to introduce tiebreaks.

The French Open is unique for its best-of-five sets format for men’s

singles, unlike other majors which use best-of-three.
