Match ball for Laykold® - After 42 years, the US Open scores with new court surface
The US Open’s call for ‘New courts please!’
After 42 years the US Open has changed courts. Laykold® is the new court surface of the US Open.
The US Open is the biggest, most exciting tennis tournament in the world. Laykold® is played on at major events throughout the USA and the world including the Miami Open and New York Open. We have been waiting for an opportunity at the US Open for a long time – we are grand-slam-ready. The reasons that Laykold® was chosen by the USTA were optimum playing performance and environmental compatibility of Laykold®.
Sport Group is investing in Laykold® to become the number one court brand in the world. The US Open gives the brand the strongest platform to showcase its quality.
You can see how Laykold® was installed at Arthur Ashe Stadium in the impressive time-lapse video here!
