A wood court[1] is one of the types of tennis courts on which the modern sport of tennis, originally known as "lawn tennis", is played. Wood courts are generally a form of hardwood flooring. These courts were once used for indoor "covered court" tennis tournaments in the early 20th century, and occasionally were used to stage outdoor tournaments. They were largely supplanted by the development of indoor carpet courts in professional play.
