In the tennis world there are 4 tournaments that are more prestigious and sought after than any of the other tournaments in the world. These prestigious tournaments are called ?Grand Slams.? These Grand Slam tournaments include the US Open Women's Derek Carr Jersey , Wimbledon, the Australian Open and the French Open. These tournaments test the different skills of players as they are played on a variety of surfaces.
The most technically challenging of these tournaments may be the French Open. The French Open is played on a clay surface. Clay surfaces tend to promote slower play as the ball does not pick up the same speed off the clay that it does off of a hard surface.
