DecoTurf® is the official surface of the US Open, as well as dozens of other high-profile international events around the world, and we are now proud to announce it as the surface of choice for the 2020 Olympic Games,” said Tom Magner, Director of Sales at California Sports Surfaces.
“There is no greater spotlight than the Olympic Games. We are proud and excited to continue supporting and advancing tennis on the global stage.”
The multi-layer cushioned tennis surface of DecoTurf was selected for its excellent flatness and uniformity, its ability to provide consistent ball bounce and player-intended ball speeds, as well as its durability and low maintenance requirements.
Ariake Tennis Park will feature DecoTurf® technology across all 12 match courts and eight practice courts.
DecoTurf is also featured at the Utsubo Tennis Center in Osaka, Japan, a designated training facility for Olympic and Paralympic athletes competing in the Tokyo 2020 Games.
In addition to being selected for five Olympic Games, California Sports Surfaces’ trusted brands have also been chosen for six Paralympic Games, as well as every US Open since 1978; several NCAA Championships; the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea; the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China; the Australian Open from 1988 to 2019; and many other venues.
