The RedPlus is increasingly being used in sports centres throughout Europe and is appreciated for wheelchair tennis.

Consisting of a synthetic backing that is filled with top-quality clay, RedPlus can be installed on any new or existing subfloor, and guarantees the maintenance of all the playing characteristics typical of traditional clay courts: the system is ITF 1 slow certified.

The advantages are obvious since, for example in the event of rain the court becomes playable in a very short time.

Particular appreciation comes from wheelchair tennis athletes, whose game is less tiring than on a traditional court, as the wheels of the wheelchair do not sink into the red earth.

This is testified by Alessandro Cianfoni, Swiss wheelchair tennis No. 1, who from the Tennis Club Chiasso in Seseglio (Canton Ticino) says: “I went down to the court after a night of heavy rain, and I was able to play immediately on the RedPlus court: after two hours, the ground didn’t rise at all.

The RedPlus court offers very stable standard conditions even on the highest stresses of competitive wheelchair tennis, where accelerations and curves tend to dig up a lot of ground, and here you can only see the lines of our movements and playing strategies on the surface.

For those who like to play wheelchair tennis on the ground, the Redplus turf seems to us to be an excellent solution“.

Initially launched in 2005 in the Swiss market, today the Red Plus system is present in prestigious international centres such as Patrick Mouratoglou’s tennis academies in the French Riviera and Malaysia and the British Tennis Federation’s LTA headquarters in London, as well as in Canada, Chile and an increasing number of tennis clubs in Italy and other European countries.
