Interview with Don Carlos Andino, president of Las Rozas Bollettieri Club 1) Why did you decide to install two Royal Clay Pro courts?The Royal Clay Pro seemed to be the ideal solution to renew the old courts in cement I had: a quick, economical and high quality solution. The installation of these clay courts through traditional methods would have been a long and expensive work.
2) Why did you choose a product that simulates “the TRADITIONAL CLAY”?Because traditional clay is the surface where clients want to play, it is more fascinating and moreover it minimizes the danger of accidents and of muscular and joint damages.

The bounce of the tennis ball is almost identical; moreover it is possible to slide as on the traditional terracotta clay court.
4) …and what about the maintenance?There are many advantages in favour of Royal Clay Pro concerning the maintenance. - Royal Clay Pro courts can be used for more hours during a year. In fact, the surface is practicable only 15/20 minutes after the rain, while in traditional courts puddles stay for hours. - The Royal Clay Pro carpet drains quickly and it also keeps a little bit of dampness: this is a great advantage in summer because the court remains dump for a longer period of time , thus reducing the need of watering the court during the day. - The quantity of clay used for the Royal Clay Pro is lower than that of a traditional clay court, where hallows and differences in height constantly develop.
