When does the tennis grass court season begin?

The Birmingham Open was the official opening of the 2025 grass court tennis season on June 2.

The only 41-day grass court season comes to an end after Wimbledon’s conclusion on July 13 with the final day of the season.

Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam to take place on grass during the shortened time period.

The close proximity of Wimbledon, which takes place in June and July, and the French Open, which takes place in May and June, are just two of the causes of the short grass season.

Other factors contribute to a shorter grass court season, including the significantly higher cost of maintaining grass courts compared to hard or clay surfaces and how much damage they can cause from bad weather.

Additionally, fewer grass tennis courts are there than other types of courts.

The grass helps to reduce the ball’s bounce, making grass court tennis more frequently faster-paced.

Therefore, big servers and players who specialize in serve and volley tennis are in the mix.

The ball bounces more slowly and higher than it does on grass, which is the opposite of grass tennis. Players who stick to the baseline and are experts at dropping shots tend to win in court competitions.

Tennis on hard courts strikes a balance between playing on grass and clay, favoring players who consistently maintain longer rallies and stick to the baseline.
