The 2008 Olympic Tennis Tournament is going to be played on DecoTurf. We have added a special section to the DecoTurf website, tracking the Olympic Torch around the globe and trying to illustrate the reach and impact that DecoTurf has had on the game of tennis since our first US Open thirty years ago. http://www.decoturf.com/OlympicsPage/DecoOlympicsPage.html
Please check back regularly, as we will update the relay with every new city, noting both DecoTurf reference sites as well as some "fun facts" and occasional articles showcasing the Surface of Champions.
With the 30th Anniversary of our partnership with the US Open, our 2nd consecutive Olympics and yet another NCAA Championship venue, 2008 is poised to be a great year for DecoTurf. We thank you for your continued support.
