Arthur Ashe Stadium, US Open in Decoturf.

DecoTurf is a tennis hardcourt constructed from layers of acrylic, rubber, silica, and other materials on top of an asphalt or concrete base. It is manufactured by Decosystems, which is a division of California Products Corporation which also manufactures Plexipave, based in Andover, Massachusetts.[1]

The surface is currently in use at the US Open (where, in 2011, heavy rains caused water to bubble up through the court surface in Louis Armstrong Stadium), the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events at Canada Masters and Cincinnati Masters, as well the US Open Series tournaments. DecoTurf was used in the 2008 Olympics held in Beijing, China and 2004 Olympics held in Athens, Greece.[2]
