In Northern France in the 12th century, it is believed an indoor game began to emerge, called game of the palm. As the game evolved, a racket was replaced by the palm, and by the 16th century the game gained popularity in France and England. Tennis, as the game is called today, is still a popular sport that draws millions of people to watch as tennis players battle it out on the court. Tennis courts are paved surfaces designed to give players a smooth surface to play on, and maintaining a tennis court is important to the game, and to the safety of the players.
Although tennis began as an indoor sport, as an outdoor sport, tennis courts are exposed to the outside elements and often need maintenance. Courts are typically durable enough to handle a high volume of traffic, but signs that a court needs repair are noticeable. The pavement on the court is affected by the sun and oxidation, rain and snow, and as the weather changes, constant thawing and freezing also wears out the pavement. Color fading, hard surfaces, and cracks are also indications the court is in need of repair, and cracks are dangerous for players.
