Equipment designed to expedite the removal of surface water from outdoor playing areas allows for quicker resumption of play after rain. This equipment typically utilizes a combination of air movement and absorption to dry the courts efficiently.
Rapid court drying offers significant advantages, minimizing disruptions to scheduled matches and practice sessions, and preventing potential damage caused by prolonged water exposure. This capability is particularly crucial for facilities hosting tournaments or those located in regions with frequent rainfall. The ability to quickly dry courts has significantly improved the consistency and reliability of tennis scheduling over time.
