- The four most important tournaments in
- tennis are known as the Grand Slam
- events. These are the Australian Open,
- the French Open, the U.S. Open, and
- Wimbledon.
-
- The Australian and U.S. Opens and
- Wimbledon were once played on grass.
- Now, only Wimbledon is played on
- grass. The Australian and U.S. Opens
- are now played on hard courts. This
- surface makes the game very fast and
- is best for players who have a great
- serve-and-volley game (that is, those
- who serve hard and then charge the
- net.)
