DECOTURF®, THE SURFACE OF CHAMPIONS.
California Sports Surfaces DecoTurf was recently selected as the official surface for 3 major tennis tournaments in Asia: The ATP China Open, the Rolex Shanghai Masters men’s tournament and the Korea Open.
All 3 tournaments were played in the month of October on the state-of-the-art DecoTurf hardcourt, a surface trusted by world-class tournaments around the globe.
The China Open is the largest ATP and WTA combined event in Asia, and this year’s event marked the first since 2019 after subsequent events were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Shanghai Masters has been lauded as one of the finest events on the ATP Tour. In its first five years, 2009-2013, the tournament was awarded ATP Masters 1000 Tournament of the Year, as voted by ATP players. California Sports Surfaces has partnered with the ATP Tour for numerous tournaments since 1998.
The 2023 Korea Open (Hana Bank Korea Open) was the 19th edition of the tournament, which took place at the Olympic Park Tennis Center, in Seoul, South Korea. The surfaces at the venue were recently just finished by the team from Chunki Industries, and the courts looked amazing!
