| Abstract/Contents: | Focuses on the turf-type selection for the Wimbledon Championships, stating that "choosing grasses for sports surfaces really comes down to three things: where you are in the world, what sport will be played on the surface, and the management regime." Overviews the effect of the tennis ball, wear, and the climatic effect on the turf. Details what is potentially required of a turf-type for tennis courts, and provides a brief history on grass courts. Notes the success of perennial ryegrass for tennis courts, and states that "we now focus our tests on selecting the best cultivars of perennial ryegrass for tennis." |
