[edit] Merging sub articles

Any objections to merging the three stubs, Grass court and Clay court and Hardcourt here? I'm happy to fix up links (they seem to be all around the place) and stuff like that. --Qirex 22:38, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't seem relevant to merge Hardcourt into here, but the others are candidates. If you are going to do it, I'd put the merge templates on for a while first. Noisy | Talk 00:05, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
I'll work on the two "candidate" articles and try to make them their own. Tarret 19:30, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Turf_management

I have started a relatively small page on types of sports surfaces which are used these days and the skills needed to look after them. It is in a very early stage and i am particularly looking for help on tennis courts. The section on tennis courts i think might have vered a little too much towards the construction/types of court as opposed to caring for the courts.Also unsure about quoting the £s as taken from the LTA web site...is this ok in wiki law? Any help would be appreciated IndianSunset 16:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Court surface types

This article lists 4 main court types, the main tennis article lists 3. This discrepency should be corrected.

[edit] Roger Federer

So was the extensive Federer worship necessary in an article about a tennis court?

[edit] Clay court image

The section on clay courts should have a better image. The one that's up now hardly even shows a tennis court, instead opting to show a nice field with trees. Perhaps a bird's-eye image of the more typical red clay court would be better. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 17:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clay Courts

In the article it states

Clay courts are considered "slow", because the balls bounce relatively slowly with less forward motion, making it more difficult for a player to hit an unreturnable shot. Points are usually longer as there are fewer winners.

But since its slow wouldn't it be more easy to hit unreturnable shots? Thus making points longer? Explain? I'm changing it for now.

Yes, you are right. The line should have probably read "less difficult".

I like your opinion, but the ball might bounce in a different direction than expected. It makes it easier for more winners and aces.¬¬¬¬ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acer81996 (talk • contribs) 07:01, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Terminology needs a labeled graphic

The long list of parts of the court would be improved by the addition of a labeled image showing where the alley, service line, base line, etc. are on the court. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.110.42.139 (talk) 17:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
