Will the 2012 Olympic Tennis tournament be played on grass?
The Olympic tennis tournament will be held at Wimbledon and that means the grass court surface. However, even if it wasn’t going to be held at Wimbledon and the London 2012 games were to build a new tennis facility just for the games, most likely it would still be grass courts. By the way, the whole purpose of holding the tennis event at Wimbledon is because the facility is already there, and Wimbledon is so prestigious and would be very special to host Olympic tennis just as they have hosted Davis Cup recently. The games of Barcelona 1992 saw the tennis event’s surface being clay. That is why the decision mostly goes by the surface of the facility, as well as the favoured surface of the host country or culture.
