‘Court speed matters. But court pace precision matters more.’ With the US Open underway on Laykold, we spoke with Luke Burden, Laykold’s Head of Events, about the importance of delivering intentional, precise and consistent court pace. Professional tennis operates in milliseconds and millimetres. Over a match, the ball can interact with the court around 800 times, making consistency an important (crucial in fact) part of the performance environment. “The goal isn’t standardization. The goal is precision.” Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/eW8MMKwz #Laykold #USOpen #AstroTurf #Polytan #APTUSA #APTAsiaPacific

The Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open delivered a week of crowd-pleasing tennis, breakthrough performances and a fitting start to a landmark season for Laykold, as the surface provider celebrates its centenary year. Staged from February 1-7 at the impressive Zayed Sports City International Tennis Centre, the WTA 500 event once again set the tone for the Middle East Swing. For the third consecutive year, Laykold courts were at the heart of the action, this time with a special “100 Years of Laykold” stencil adorning the surface, complemented by an on-screen birthday tribute, commemorative commentary moments and even a cake! On court, the standout story belonged to 20-year-old Czech qualifier Sara Bejlek. Ranked No. 101 at the start of the week, Bejlek produced a gutsy run to claim her first WTA Tour title.

Achieving pace consistency across courts, and tailoring play by tournament is one of the biggest challenges facing tennis events. Tournament Directors everywhere will tell you, getting it wrong can not only be dangerous to athletes, but can greatly impact the fan experience. Each professional event has its own requirements, identity and climatic conditions, from extreme heat to atmospheric dust, humidity and air density. To deliver consistent court pace and quality, each surface has to be tailored to the individual tournament. From the dry deserts of Abu Dhabi Open, to the sub tropical humidity of the Miami Open and fast pace of the US Open, Laykold courts deliver 10 x greater consistency than the accepted industry standard, making us the preferred court surface provider around the globe.
