Carpet court

A carpet court is a type of tennis court. The International Tennis Federation describes the surface as a "textile or polymeric material supplied in rolls or sheets of finished product".[1] It is one of the fastest court types, second only to grass courts.[2] The use of carpet courts in ATP Tour competitions ended in 2009.[3] In women's tennis, no WTA Tour tournaments have used carpet courts since the last edition of the Tournoi de Québec in 2018.
