		During many of these years, the event was held on Har-Tru, or green clay, but the tournament now is held on red clay typical of European courts.
		As the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships is the last remaining ATP Tour level event held in the United States on clay, no such events are currently played on green clay.

	French Open Tennis: Slip sliding away: clay-court rhythm - Sports - International Herald Tribune
		PARIS They play on courts at the French Open, but what makes it different from the other Grand Slam tennis tournaments is that they also play on canvases: leaving traces of triumph and disaster on the crushed red brick that passes for clay.
		All of these men know how to move very well on the clay, even the huge- serving Ljubicic whose best results, until now, have come on hard courts and indoor courts but who says he played exclusively on clay until the age of 15.
		One of Nadal's 3-meter marks in the clay is a tribute to his initial burst of speed, and the paradox is that while you might think a player is losing time by sliding into a ball (friction slows momentum, after all), a player like Nadal or Federer or Henin- Hardenne is actually gaining time.
