Growing Internationally - Har-Tru Courts

International Expansion: In May Australia installed its first Har-Tru HydroCourt at Macquarie University in Sydney. It has received rave reviews for playability and ease of maintenance, with Tony Roche amongst those using the court to train top junior players. We expect that this will lead the way for 50-60 courts in the next few years.

Clay court interest in China continues to grow and the ascension of Li Na to Roland Garros champion is accelerating the Chinese Tennis Associations push to train their future champions on clay. Li trained for Roland Garros on one of our red HydroCourts in Beijing. I guess it helped! The momentum around clay has also resulted in the first ClayTech court shipping to China this month. We have orders for 7 more to go over in the ensuing months.
