Newport To Feature Newly Renovated Courts In 2012

Newport, U.S.A.

International Tennis Hall of Fame© Campbell's Hall Of Fame Tennis Chps.Renovation work is underway on the Front Lawn courts at the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

The Campbell’s Hall of Fame Tennis Championships will debut newly renovated courts at next year’s staging of the ATP World Tour 250 grass-court tournament, to be held from 9-15 July in Newport.

Renovation work on the front lawn competition courts is currently underway, starting with the removal of all turf and the blending of a light coating of sand into the topsoil to improve drainage. The courts will be laser graded to within 1/16 of an inch before new bentgross sod, trimmed by Kentucky Bluegrass, is installed. Similar renovations were made to the facility’s Stadium Court three years ago.

The historic courts were the site of the first US National Tennis Championships in 1881 and have hosted an ATP World Tour tournament since 1976.
