Carpet courts went out of fashion in the late 20th century and have been discontinued from the world tour.

The courts are made up of uniform rigid material, often covered with an acrylic surface layer to offer greater consistency of bounce than other outdoor surfaces. Hard courts generally vary in speed, being slower than grass courts but faster than clay.
