First grand slam
of this season, The Australian Open concluded a few days back. Unlike the 2012
encounter between Njokovic and Nadal, the final’s playoff between Njokovic and
Murray became one sided after the 2nd set leading to Joker winning
comfortably at the end.
One of the
interesting aspects of the Grand Slams is the type of court in which they are
played. Each of the four Grand Slams Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon
and US Open are played on different type of surfaces which add to the
excitement of this sport.
Both Australian Open and US Open are played on Hard Court.
Australian Open is played on the Synthetic
hard court whereas the US Open is played on the Acrylic Hard Court.
French Open is the only grand slam which is played on Clay Court.
Wimbledon, the second grand slam in Europe, is played on the Grass Court.
The recently
completed Australian Open is also known as the Grand Slam of the Asia Pacific.
