Which tennis tournament is played on grass?

A. Australian Open
B. Wimbledon
C. US Open
D. French Open
Correct Answer: B. Wimbledon

Among the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, each is traditionally played on a distinct surface, influencing the game's style and speed. These major tournaments are the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open.

  • Wimbledon, held annually in London, England, is famously the only Grand Slam tournament played on grass courts. This traditional surface results in a faster game with lower ball bounces, favoring players with strong serves and volleys.
  • The Australian Open and US Open are played on hard courts, which offer a consistent bounce and medium speed.
  • The French Open (Roland Garros) is unique for being played on red clay courts, known for slowing down the ball and producing higher bounces, favoring baseline players.
