The Importance of Tennis Court Maintenance On Player Performance
Tennis is a sport which is played upon many different surfaces – a lot more than most other sports. Each different surface is going to have an impact on how well a player performs in any given game and then how well maintained each of these different types of surfaces have been, will also have affect the player’s performance levels. This article can tell you everything you need to know about the different surfaces used on tennis courts and what sort of effect you can expect them to have on the players.
Different Types of Tennis Courts
Before we can start to talk about the importance of maintenance on different tennis court surfaces, you first need to know what those different surfaces are. Here’s a quick overview:
● Clay: Clay courts are mainly only used in the French Open.They slow down the ball and cause it to bounce more highly.
● Grass: Most tennis games are played on grass courts. Balls bounce quickly on grass surfaces, which leads to fast paced games.
● Hard Courts: These are made of a rigid material which allows for a greater consistency of play than other types of court.
● Carpet: Carpet courts use a kind of artificial turf and allow people to experience the full tennis experience, even when inside. Not often used in professional events.
Depending on an individual’s style of game, each different type of court could either prove to be an advantage or set back.
Tennis Court Maintenance
It’s important that tennis courts are properly maintained. If they are not, players may struggle to play to the best of their abilities and the tennis balls may not bounce properly. Here are a few ways that tennis courts are maintained:
● De-Mossing: It’s quite common for moss to start to grow on tennis courts. Not only does this look unpleasant, but it makes it harder for the players too.
● Pressure Cleaning: A common method used for tarmac based-courts. This helps to stop the general wear and tear caused by dirty courts. It’s also done on synthetic carpet courts as well.
● Line Marking: The lines which mark the court are of the utmost importance as they can determine who scores what points. Of course, this means that it is essential that line marking is done regularly to make the lines clear.
These are just a few different approaches to tennis court maintenance. Of course, with so many different styles of tennis court, there are also a very large number maintenance procedures. You can read more about these different approaches, here.
A badly maintained court will make it hard for players to perform to the best of their abilities. This is always important to keep in mind before placing any bets. What sort of court is being played on? How will maintained is it? Are the players used to this sort of thing? These are all the types of question you should be asking yourself.
Tennis Court Installation
One of the best ways to get an idea of how the different types of surface will affect the players is by playing the game yourself. Sure, you can watch and imagine how the players are feeling, but nothing quite beats having that experience yourself.
You can design your own tennis court, suitable for your home or community space quite easily. There are plenty of options out there for people who want to have a tennis court installed in their garden. Not only is it a good way to help yourself gain a better understanding of the tennis game, but it can be pretty fun to use whenever you have company around. It will give you first hand experience of the importance of maintenance too and how much of a big impact it can have.

What is the purpose of club membership?
Most members use the advisory to generate profits via bookmaker and/or exchange accounts. For someone staking £100 per match this has yielded thousands in profit even once the annual membership fee is deducted.
Will bookmakers limit my account(s)?
Most likely, yes. Club bets have a proven track record of value (+ EV) and bookmakers are likely to notice this. Short term you’ll be fine but longer term we suggest using betting exchanges or ‘winners welcome’ bookmakers or brokers. That’s why we always quote and record odds from Betfair Exchange for members as that illustrates profits for those who are limited.
How will it work after joining?
Your membership will be confirmed with a personal welcome email. You’ll get 12 months access from a single payment and there is no auto renewal – we’ll simply ask if you wish to continue after the year has elapsed. You should expect an average of two emails per week detailing the advised selection, match, tournament and odds. Simply login to your betting account and place a wager on the selected market. We only use standard match winner bets, often referred to as the moneyline, so coverage is extensive at virtually all betting portals. Have any questions? Please visit the contact us page. Average response time 24h.
Is club membership limited?
Yes, we allow a maximum of ten members to have an active annual membership at any one time. This is to preserve value and market liquidity. Essentially ensuring it’s practical to obtain the advised odds without them disappearing too quickly.
What bankroll is required?
We suggest £10,000 or more ideally although smaller can work. Most members choose to follow our advice of staking 1% per match. This means it automatically adjusts and scales as the total grows and compounds returns. In the above example; the member would have yielded over £3,000 profit but had to pay the membership fee leaving them with a net profit in excess of £2200. Some members have vastly exceeded this by staking higher amounts but please remember to have a long term focus and ensure capacity for successive losses.
What type of bets should I expect?
Always match winner bets covering men’s professional tennis. This includes ATP events, Challenger and Grand Slams. We specialise in high odds underdogs which have yielded the most considerable profits in extensive back testing. Selections with odds of 10/1 (11.00) are not uncommon. We deliver advisory emails at a consistent time with a minimum of six hours before the scheduled start time to ensure plenty of time to get bets placed.
Who is the club open to?
Everyone with a decent bankroll and a long term outlook. We have members from around the world betting in many different currencies and jurisdictions. Tennis Tips UK are based in the United Kingdom, hence the name, but the club is truly global.
How is profit tracked?
For transparency we operate a public spreadsheet. This shows all key metrics such as units profit, ROI, yield and strike rate. We even monitor the Avg Diff CO % for those statisticians amongst you. In a nutshell this measures the implied value by comparing the advised odds with the sharp closing line. 2% is deducted from all recorded profit figures to simulate exchange commission. Just to clarify bets are only added to the spreadsheet post result confirmation to retain exclusivity of access to paid club members.
For winning bets our team also publish profit reports which feature the original email sent to members for additional tracking and verification purposes. This also includes a rating for that specific prediction which gives an insight into how our strategy is optimised over time.
Who picks the bets for club members?
Tennis Tips UK have grown into a small team over the years. Founded way back in 2013 by an odds compiler at a leading EU bookmaker. Since then joined by a quant and business manager. Each one of us lives and breathes tennis but we like to let our results speak for themselves rather than make outlandish personal claims.
Why don’t you bet on your own picks if they are so good?
We do, frequently. The issue surrounds liquidity and limitations. Club members have access to a wide range of liquidity from global sportsbooks and exchanges. We, as individuals, are far more restricted. Typically though we still stake an average of £10k per week on our selections but unfortunately virtually every bookmaker has long since banned us. We should take it a compliment really as a limitation is an endorsement of the profitability of your bets from an often billion pound institution.
Is there a way to reduce the cost of membership?
The fee is set at a level which allows us to fill membership places. If you are a prospective first time club member enter the promo code ‘TTUK10’ during checkout to reduce the cost. Please note this is a one time discount and not available for returning members.
